Cross-section scaling for track structure simulations of low-energy ions in liquid water

Cross-section scaling for track structure simulations of low-energy ions in liquid water

Radiation damage by low-energy ions significantly contributes to the high biological efficiency of ion beams in distal Bragg peak regions as well as to the energy-dependent efficiency of neutron irradiation. To enable assessing biological effects of ions at energies
