Quantitative estimation of track segment yields of water radiolysis species under heavy ions around Bragg peak energies using Geant4-DNA

Abstract We evaluate the track segment yield G′ of typical water radiolysis products (eaq −, · OH and H2O2) under heavy ions (He, C and Fe ions) using a Monte Carlo simulation code in the Geant4-DNA. Furthermore, we reproduce experimental results of · OH of He and C ions around the Bragg peak energi...
