A closed parameterization of DNA-damage by charged particles, as a function of energy - a geometrical approach.

PURPOSE: To present a closed formalism calculating charged particle radiation damage induced in DNA. The formalism is valid for all types of charged particles and due to its closed nature is suited to provide fast conversion of dose to DNA-damage. METHODS: The induction of double strand breaks in DN...
