Description
In this paper microdosimetric and radial dose distributions, calculated with track structure codes Moca-8 and Moca-14 for different radiation types are presented and compared with existing experimental data. The energy deposition and ionization spectra for low site diameters are shown and the conversion factors between energy deposition and ionization are given. The influence of atomic and molecular data used by the codes on the results is briefly discussed. (author). 30 refs, 8 figs, 2 tabs
