给出了带电粒子在已知入射和出射位置和角度的情况下穿越均匀介质并遭受多库仑散射的最可能路径的计算。考虑了电离能量损失的影响，并用蒙特卡罗模拟对结果进行了验证。讨论了它在质子计算机层析成像中的应用。
Presented is a calculation of the most likely path for a charged particle traversing a uniform medium and suffering multiple-Coulomb scattering when the entrance and exit positions and angles are known. The effects of ionization energy loss are included and the results are verified using Monte Carlo simulation. The application to proton computed tomography is discussed.
