Interpretation of mutation induction by accelerated heavy ions in bacteria.

Abstract excerpt

In this report, a quantitative interpretation of mutation induction cross sections by heavy charged particles in bacterial cells is presented. The approach is based on the calculation of the fraction of energy deposited by indirect hits in the sensitive structure. In these events the particle does not pass through the sensitive volume, but this region is hit by delta rays. Four track structure models, developed...
