Theoretical analysis of the LET dependence of transient yields observed in pulse radiolysis with ion beams

Description

A theoretical analysis of the LET dependence of transient yields 10-5 sec after energy deposition by 2H+ and 4He2+ is presented. The model used takes into account the separation of the track core and the delta-ray tracks. Diffusion-kinetics methods are used to calculate the time dependences of transient concentrations in the track core and in the delta-ray tracks. Since the model also specifies the relative energetic importances of the different energy-deposition modes, composite G values can be calculated for comparison with experiment, and the agreement is found to be satisfactory
