| heal.abstract | An event-by-event Monte Carlo simulation code for track structure studies is described. In the present form the code transports protons (approximately 0.3-10 MeV) and electrons (approximately 10 eV-10 keV) in a water medium in the gas phase approximation. For the type of particles and energy range considered, ionization, electronic excitation and electron elastic scattering are the most important collision events accounted for in the transport simulation. Efforts were made to ensure that the analytic representation of the various interaction cross sections rests on well established experimental data and theory. For example, the secondary-electron spectrum as well as partial and total ionization cross sections are represented by a semitheoretical formulation combining Bethe's asymptotic expansion and binary-encounter theory. Binding effects for five levels of ionization and eight levels of electronic excitation of the water molecule are explicitly considered. The validity of the model cross sections is examined against available experimental data and theoretical predictions from other similar studies. Results pertaining to the partitioning of energy loss and interaction events for the first-collision probability and nanometre-size track segments are presented. | en |
