Impact of the Lorentz force on electron track structure and early DNA damage yields in magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy

Abstract Magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has been developed and installed in recent decades for external radiotherapy in several clinical facilities. Lorentz forces modulate dose distribution by charged particles in MRgRT; however, the impact of Lorentz forces on low-energy electron t...
