The purpose of this paper has been to review the current status and progress of the field of
radiation biophysics, and draw attention to the fact that physics, in general, and radiation …

Simple Summary A brief description of the methodologies to simulate ionizing radiation
transport in biologically relevant matter is presented. Emphasis is given to the physical …

Most of the energy deposited in cells by ionizing radiation is channeled into the production
of abundant free secondary electrons with ballistic energies between 1 and 20 electron …

1. INTRODUCTION When a high-energy charged particle interacts with a biomolecule in
living tissues or cells, about 80% of the energy absorbed ionizes the medium, whereas the …

The structure of liquid water, its role in the solvation of ionic and neutral species, and its
effects on chemical reactions have been the focus of research for over a century, 1-12 and …

Monte Carlo track-structure simulation provides a near accurate description of the passage
of charge particle in water as a surrogate for biological tissue. Radiation transport codes and …

Collisions of 0–4 eV electrons with thin DNA films are shown to produce single strand
breaks. The yield is sharply structured as a function of electron energy and indicates the …

Nonthermal secondary electrons with initial kinetic energies below 100 eV are an abundant
transient species created in irradiated cells and thermalize within picoseconds through …

It is now over ten years since the seminal experiments of Leon Sanche's group in
Sherbrooke have compellingly shown that subexcitation electrons interacting with DNA …

Electrical discharges formed directly in liquid water include three general cases where (a)
streamer-like plasma channels form in, but do not span, the electrode gap,(b) spark …
