“…For COVID-19 which is a polyatomic molecule, the atomic number can be treated as an average atomic number. With respect to the inelastic scattering process, we must take into account not only the angle change but also the energy transfer [ 13 ]. On the basis of the FSE mode, this inelastic scattering cross-section can be designated as follows when it is taken as a quantum rotation mode:…”

“…Compared to the ultraviolet disinfection method for killing the virus, electron beam radiation with high keV energy can only concentrate the loss of energy more effectively on surface viruses. Although much research and studies have been carried out on electron beam radiation of the virus worldwide [ 5 ], this is still not enough. How the radioactive electron interacts with the new coronavirus (COVID-19) remains uncertain.…”

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 resulted in more than 11 000 000 infections and over 530 000 deaths. Coronavirus (S) spike glycoproteins promote entry into cells and are the main target of antibodies. We studied the effect of electron beams on the SARS CoV-2 glycoprotein and also on RNA using Monte Carlo simulation. We demonstrated that S-SARS CoV peak glycoproteins damaged by irradiation electrons corresponding to an energy loss of approximately 1.2 keV with a damage rate of the efficiency that can be as high as .
