Abstract
The dose distribution inside a spherical cavity is calculated using analytical expressions for both the stopping power and the starting energy distributions for elastically scattered secondary charged particles. Cavity-generated secondaries are treated separately from secondaries generated in the surrounding medium. The result is an analytical expression for the ratio of the dose to the cavity to the dose to the surrounding medium. This expression, sometimes referred to as the ‘effective stopping power’ is in a form similar to the Burlin general cavity theory for photons.
