Clocking Auger electrons

Cancer therapy with Auger electrons: are we almost there?

Angular correlation between photoelectrons and Auger electrons within scattering theory

(99m)Tc Auger electrons for targeted tumour therapy: a review.

PURPOSE Targeted radiotherapy using Auger electrons presents multiple advantages and challenges. The advantageous characteristics of this type of radiotherapy can explain the growing interest in these specific electrons for cancer therapy. During the last decade, Technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) has been used as an imaging agent and only recently has it been analysed as a potential therapeutic agent. T...

Search for the greater potential of Auger electrons

Auger electrons and characteristic X–rays, collectively named as atomic radiation, are emitted following atomic ionization. Radionuclides that emit Auger electrons have been of particular interest as therapeutic agents. This is primarily due to its short range in tissue, controlled linear paths, and high linear energy transfer of these particles. Their biological effects are very localized thus...

Absolute Auger rates, relative intensities and angular distribution for the KLL spectra of Auger electrons from laser-excited sodium

The absolute Auger rates, relative intensities and the angular anisotropy coefficients of Auger electrons have been calculated for the KLL Auger spectra of laser-excited sodium atoms. Where in closed-shell atoms the KLL Auger lines have to be isotropic this is no longer valid for certain Auger transitions in open-shell systems. To study the KLL Auger spectra of 3s → 3p excited sodium atoms we c...
