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 …

Background Geant4 is a Monte Carlo code extensively used in medical physics for a wide
range of applications, such as dosimetry, micro‐and nanodosimetry, imaging, radiation …

This topical review summarizes underlying concepts of nanodosimetry. It describes the
development and current status of nanodosimetric detector technology. It also gives an …

We compare unrestricted dose average linear energy transfer (LET) maps calculated with
three different Monte Carlo scoring methods in voxelized geometries irradiated with proton …

The biological effects of ionizing radiation at the cellular level are frequently studied using
the well-known formalism of microdosimetry, which provides a quantitative description of the …

Experimental microdosimetry deals with the measurement of charged particle energy
deposition in tissue equivalent volumes, ranging in size from nanometres to micrometres …

The Geant4 toolkit offers a range of electromagnetic (EM) models for simulating the transport
of charged particles down to sub-keV energies. They can be divided to condensed-history …

Ectoine, a compatible solute and osmolyte, is known to be an effective protectant of
biomolecules and whole cells against heating, freezing and extreme salinity. Protection of …

Radiation damage to DNA plays a central role in radiation therapy to cure cancer. The
