Coupling Radiation Transport and Track-Structure Simulations: Strategy Based on Analytical Formulas Representing DNA Damage Yields

Coupling Radiation Transport and Track-Structure Simulations: Strategy Based on Analytical Formulas Representing DNA Damage Yields

Existing radiation codes for biomedical applications face the challenge of dealing with largely different spatial scales, from nanometer scales governing individual energy deposits to macroscopic scales of dose distributions in organs and tissues in radiotherapy. Event-by-event track-structure codes...
