A matter of space: how the spatial heterogeneity in energy deposition determines the biological outcome of radiation exposure
11 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
The outcome of the exposure of living organisms to ionizing radiation is determined by the distribution of the associated energy deposition at different spatial scales. Radiation proceeds through ionizations and excitations of hit molecules with an ~ nm spacing. Approaches such as nanodosimetry/microdosimetry and Monte Carlo track-structure simulations have been successfully adopted to investigate radiation...
