1. A method comprising:
by a control circuit:
generating an influence matrix via integration with a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation by generating the influence matrix via integration with a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation on a particle-by-particle basis by, for each of the particles:
identifying a spot to which the particle belongs; and
adding a dose deposited by the particle during transport to an influence matrix element that corresponds to a spot to which the particle belongs and a voxel where the dose was deposited;
optimizing a radiation treatment plan for proton therapy as a function of the influence matrix.
