DNA damage induced by the direct effect of He ion particles.
We present here evidence showing that the yields of DNA lesions induced by He(2+) ions strongly depend on Linear energy transfer (LET). In this study, hydrated plasmid DNA was irradiated with He(2+) ions with LET values of 19, 63 and 95 keVmicrom(-1). The yields of prompt single-strand breaks (SSBs)...
