Abstract

Depending on their unique physical properties， proton and heavy ions have taken an irreplaceable role in modern means of tumor treatment. Onestep process and twostep process physical models were employed to explain the mechanism of ion energy loss. The transport process of proton and ¹²C in water was simulated by Geant4 toolkit to study the physical properties of ion beam. The calculation results were discussed， which showed the advantages and disadvantages of proton and ¹²C in the medical application.
