Quantitative estimation of track segment yields of water radiolysis species under heavy ions around Bragg peak energies using Geant4-DNA

Kentaro Baba et al.

Summary: In this study, the track segment yield G' of typical water radiolysis products under heavy ions was evaluated using a Monte Carlo simulation code in Geant4-DNA. Experimental results were successfully reproduced for (OH)-O-. of helium and carbon ions around the Bragg peak energies, but proper evaluation of G-values around the Bragg peak energies remains a challenge due to the dense continuous secondary products generated in this region. Additional simulation of radical-radical reactions involving secondary products formed by irradiation improved the agreement between simulation and experimental results around the Bragg peak. Further research on fragmentation and multi-ionization is needed for more realistic simulations.

Stopping power and CSDA range of electrons in liquid water, LiF, CaF2, and Al2O3 from the energy gap up to 433 keV

L. R. Castillo-Rico et al.

Summary: This study investigated the stopping powers and CSDA range of electrons in compounds such as LiF, CaF2, and Al2O3 using the full Penn algorithm, from the energy gap up to 433 keV, with a particular focus on the influence of exciton states. Experimental optical data were rigorously evaluated, revealing that exciton states mainly affect stopping powers at energies below 100 eV. Additionally, a certain relationship between minimum excitation energy (exciton state) and the energy at which stopping powers are maximum was observed.
