“…The IAM-SCAR+I method for the calculation of positron scattering cross sections has been improved in 2016, as outlined in our paper from Blanco et al [8]. This method builds on our previous work [4,11,12,14,15,[20][21][22][23][24] for both electrons and positrons, and has been used successfully in the past for biologically relevant molecules such as water [8,25], pyrimidine [26][27][28], pyridine [29], benzene [30], diatomic oxygen [24,31], tetrahydrofuran [32], macromolecules [21] and many more, typically in the range of 0.1 to 10000 eV incident energy.…”

“…An updated review has recommended the corrected data of Khakoo et al ([43] and erratum) for low energy scattering and Munoz et al [44] for higher energies (where experiment and theoretical evaluations merge). The benchmarking swarm paper by de Urquijo et al [45] on cross sections for water reproduced measured transport data in water/helium mixtures and presented the integral cross sections that are entirely self-consistent with the available total cross sections as well as the swarm data over a large range of reduced electric field, E/N.…”

“…Electron energy loss distributions in H 2 O were measured by us in a transmission beam set-up in order to assign the energy released in each electron-molecule interaction. After observing that the energy loss distributions did not present significant variations (uncertainty ≤ 15%) for incident electron energies in the range 50-5 000 eV, a unique (average) electron energy loss spectrum was used (Mu ñoz et al, 2008a). The mean excitation energy in water yielded by this distribution is ≤ 34 eV for electron energies ≤ 500eV and rises to about 40 eV for energies beyond the threshold for inner shell excitation/ionization.…”

“…Other probable decay energies are 2.407 MeV, 3.029 MeV and 1.979 MeV (β) and 511.86 keV, 621.93 keV and 1.050 MeV (γ) (data from the Lund Nuclear Data Service: Chu et al (1999)). The combined electron emission spectrum of the applicator for use in the simulation was determined experimentally (Mu ñoz et al, 2008a) with a silicon detector and is shown in fig. 3.…”
