The effect of ion-induced shock waves on the transport of reacting species around energetic ion tracks

Pablo de Vera, Eugene Surdutovich, Nigel J. Mason +2

The passage of energetic ions through tissue initiates a series of physico-chemical events, which lead to biodamage. The study of this scenario using a multiscale approach brought…

Radial doses around energetic ion tracks and the onset of shock waves on the nanoscale

Pablo de Vera, Eugene Surdutovich, Nigel J. Mason +1

Energetic ions lose their energy in tissue mainly by ionising its molecules. This produces secondary electrons which transport this energy radially away from the ion path. The rang…

Transport of secondary electrons and reactive species in ion tracks

Eugene Surdutovich, Andrey V. Solov'yov

The transport of reactive species brought about by ions traversing tissue-like medium is analysed analytically. Secondary electrons ejected by ions are capable of ionizing other mo…

Multiscale approach to the physics of radiation damage with ions

Eugene Surdutovich, Andrey V. Solov'yov

The multiscale approach to the assessment of biodamage resulting upon irradiation of biological media with ions is reviewed, explained and compared to other approaches. The process…

Calculation of complex DNA damage induced by ions

Eugene Surdutovich, David C. Gallagher, Andrey V. Solov'yov

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the complex damage of DNA irradiated by ions. The analysis and assessment of complex damage is important because cells in which it occurs a…

Spectra of secondary electrons generated in water by energetic ions

Emanuele Scifoni, Eugene Surdutovich, Andrey V. Solov'yov

The energy distributions of secondary electrons produced by energetic carbon ions (in the energy range used, e.g., in hadron therapy), incident on liquid water, are discussed. For…
