Understanding the fundamental mechanisms involved in the induction of biological damage
by ionizing radiation remains a major challenge of today's radiobiology research. The Monte …

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 …

This Special Report presents a description of Geant4‐DNA user applications dedicated to
the simulation of track structures (TS) in liquid water and associated physical quantities (eg …

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 …

Purpose: The geant4‐DNA physics models are upgraded by a more accurate set of electron
cross sections for ionization and excitation in liquid water. The impact of the new …

We calculated electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) for liquid water from its optical
energy‐loss function (ELF) for electron energies from 50 eV to 30 keV. These calculations …

The absolute values of the effective attenuation length of an electron in liquid water are
determined using soft x-ray O 1 s photoemission spectroscopy of a liquid beam of water …

The most recent release of the open source and general purpose Geant4 Monte Carlo
simulation toolkit (Geant4 10.2 release) contains a new set of physics models in the Geant4 …

Abstract Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs) have recently gained a lot of attention due to their
potential benefit to improve the efficacy of X-ray radiotherapy. Owing to their high atomic …

Monte Carlo track structure codes provide valuable information for understanding radiation
effects down to the DNA level, where experimental measurements are most difficult or …
