Does Hze Radiation-induced Dna Damage Differ from Low-energy High Let Radiation Damage?

METHODS We have used 1 GeV/u and 600 MeV/u iron ions at NSRL, 300 kVp X-rays and 25 MeV/u nitrogen ions from the 88” cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For measurements of DNA double-strand breaks we are using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with a dual label technique that includes control samples in each lane and the use of the most sensitive part of the FAR vs dose c...

Radiation attenuation properties of shields containing micro and Nano WO3 in diagnostic X-ray energy range

Background: It has recently been shown that the particle size of materials used for radiation shielding can affect the magnitude of radiation attenuation. Over the past years, application of nano-structured materials in radiation shielding has attracted attention world-wide. The purpose of this study was to investigate the shielding properties of the lead-free shields containing micro and nano-...

Radiation track and DNA damage

Electronic effects in high-energy radiation damage in tungsten.

Although the effects of the electronic excitations during high-energy radiation damage processes are not currently understood, it is shown that their role in the interaction of radiation with matter is important. We perform molecular dynamics simulations of high-energy collision cascades in bcc-tungsten using the coupled two-temperature molecular dynamics (2T-MD) model that incorporates both th...

Radiation Damage in Silicon Detectors for High-Energy Physics Experiments

Radiation effects in silicon detectors are discussed in view of their application in future high-energy physics experiments. An overview is given of the major changes in the operational parameters due to radiation damage and their origin in the radiation-induced microscopic disorder in the silicon bulk. The principal radiation hardening technologies are described that have been adopted by the h...
