A Monte Carlo investigation of radiation damage to chromatin fibers and production of DNA double strand breaks using Geant4-DNA code

In the presented research we propose to improve on historically accepted radiobiological models via Monte Carlo simulation of radiation tracks passing through a cell nucleus modeled with up-to-date subnuclear structures. This is performed by generating a radiation track database using the Monte Car...
