Nanolesions induced by heavy ions in human tissues: Experimental and theoretical studies

Nanolesions induced by heavy ions in human tissues: Experimental and theoretical studies

The biological effects of energetic heavy ions are attracting increasing interest for their applications in cancer therapy and protection against space radiation. The cascade of events leading to cell death or late effects starts from stochastic energy deposition on the nanometer scale and the corre...
