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 …

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 …

The TOPAS Monte Carlo (MC) system is used in radiation therapy and medical imaging
research, having played a significant role in making Monte Carlo simulations widely …

FLASH radiotherapy delivers a high dose (≥ 10 Gy) at a high rate (≥ 40 Gy/s). In this way,
particles are delivered in pulses as short as a few nanoseconds. At that rate, intertrack …

Purpose The simulation of individual particle tracks and the chemical stage following water
radiolysis in biological tissue is an effective means of improving our knowledge of the …

The chemical stage of the Monte Carlo track-structure simulation code Geant4-DNA has
been revised and validated. The root-mean-square (RMS) empirical parameter that dictates …

Stochastic modeling of the radiolysis of water and of aqueous solutions employing simulated
track structures and the independent reaction times methodology is used to investigate the …

Historically, the field of radiation chemistry began shortly after the discovery of radioactivity,
and its development has been closely related to discoveries in other related fields such as …

The paper describes developments of the physicochemical part of a computer code system
that estimates DNA strand break induction on plasmid pBR322 DNA. In order to test the …

Purpose Indirect biological damage due to reactive species produced in water radiolysis
reactions is responsible for the majority of biological effect for low linear energy transfer …
