Microdosimetric Investigation and a Novel Model of Radiosensitization in the Presence of Metallic Nanoparticles

Auger cascades generated in high atomic number nanoparticles (NPs) following ionization were considered a potential mechanism for NP radiosensitization. In this work, we investigated the microdosimetric consequences of the Auger cascades using the theory of dual radiation action (TDRA), and we propo...
