Geant4: 200 MeV/u carbon ions in water

Tested for Geant4 10.2.3

Scoring

• the dose for primaries and secondaries for a given atomic number
• the fluence-averaged LET or whatever quantity specified in the routine
• the max step length can be modified in the DetectorConstruction class
• Saves histograms to

mkdir -p build/histograms

Validation

• the dose distributions for the ion fragments are identical to figure 2 in [1]
