Visualisation of γH2AX foci caused by heavy ion particle traversal; distinction between core track versus non-track damage.

Visualisation of γH2AX foci caused by heavy ion particle traversal; distinction between core track versus non-track damage.

Heavy particle irradiation produces complex DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) which can arise from primary ionisation events within the particle trajectory. Additionally, secondary electrons, termed delta-electrons, which have a range of distributions can create low linear energy transfer (LET) damage...
