Energetic ions lose some of their kinetic energy when interacting with electrons or nuclei in
matter. Here, we discuss combined experimental and theoretical studies on such impulse …

The surface science-based approach to synthesising new organic materials on surfaces has
gained considerable attention in recent years, owing to its success in facilitating the …

Low-energy electron-induced reactions in hydrated molecular complexes are important in
various fields ranging from the Earth's environment to radiobiological processes including …

We publish three Roadmaps on photonic, electronic and atomic collision physics in order to
celebrate the 60th anniversary of the ICPEAC conference. In Roadmap I, we focus on the …

The interaction of low‐energy electrons with biomolecules plays an important role in the
radiation‐induced alteration of biological tissue at the molecular level. At electron energies …

Experiment and theory are combined to study the interaction of low energy electrons with
microhydrated uracil and its halogenated analogues 5-fluorouracil and 5-bromouracil. We …

The fragmentation of uracil molecules and pure and nano-hydrated uracil clusters by 12C4+
ion impact is investigated. This work focuses on the fragmentation behavior of complex …

Induction of DNA double strand breaks after irradiation is considered of prime importance for
producing radio-induced cellular death or injury. However, up to now ion-induced collisions …

Fast highly charged C and O ion-induced total ionization of an RNA base molecule, uracil (C
4 H 4 N 2 O 2, m= 112 amu), has been investigated in a wide energy range of keV to MeV. A …

In general, radiation‐induced fragmentation of small amino acids is governed by the
cleavage of the C Cα bond. We present results obtained with 300 keV Xe20+ ions that …
