Calculated charged particle doses absorbed per nucleus
| Ion species | Mean energy on target | LET | Dose per nucleus after standardization |
| MeV/u | keV/μm | Gy | |
| Carbon | 5.3 | 265 | 0.9 |
| Nitrogen | 5.1 | 363 | 1.2 |
| Nickel | 4.9 | 3530 | 11.9 |
| Xenon | 2.4 | 8679 | 29.2 |
| Uranium | 1.9 | 13 438 | 45.3 |
Dose = energy/mass = (0.16 × LET × 18 μm)/(ρwater × 855 μm3)
