Springer Computational Approaches in Molecular Radiation Biology - Monte Carlo Methods

Computational Approaches in Molecular Radiation Biology: Monte Carlo Methods explores the development of computational methods supported by the Office of Health and Environmental Research to understand radiation effects across biological systems. This volume examines how radiation of different quality, including high energy electrons, protons, helium and other heavy ions, interacts with materials of biological interest such as water, polymers and DNA. The book addresses molecular excitations, sub-excitations, ionization production and their spatial and temporal characteristics. Published by Springer as part of the Basic Life Sciences series, this research-focused text provides essential methodologies for scientists and healthcare practitioners studying radiation biology at the molecular level.
