“…At lower incident energies, i.e. from 300 keV to 1 MeV, the difference between our results and those of refs 21,53,55,56 is within 10%. What is more, the best agreement at low energies is observed with the calculations of Uehara and co-workers 53 .…”

Whether it is in radiobiology to identify DNA lesions or in medicine to adapt the radiotherapeutic protocols, a detailed understanding of the radiation-induced interactions in living matter is required. Monte Carlo track-structure codes have been successfully developed to describe these interactions and predict the radiation-induced energy deposits at the nanoscale level in the medium of interest. In this work, the quantum-mechanically based Monte Carlo track-structure code TILDA-V has been used to compute the slowing-down of protons in water and DNA. Stopping power and range are then reported and compared with existing data. Then, a first application of TILDA-V to cellular irradiations is also reported in order to highlight the absolute necessity of taking into account a realistic description of the cellular environment in microdosimetry.

“…Unfortunately, there is no available theoretical expression of evaluating the IMFP Bolch corresponding to the SP Bloch . Therefore, in our previous work [9] and on the basis of the analyses on the SP Bloch due to Bloch [27], we proposed an empirical Bloch correction to inelastic MFP. This correction takes the following form…”

“…Therefore, knowledge of the values of the inelastic MFPs of protons in the above materials is very important. To this end, in our previous work [9] we reported the evaluated inelastic MFPs of 0.05-10 MeV protons in a group of important bioorganic materials.…”

“…The calculations are based on the approach similar to that in our previous work [9], but our emphasis is on the higher-order corrections for the calculations of proton inelastic MFPs. We check the internal consistency of the experimental optical data used in calculations of proton inelastic MFPs by means of two sum rules and by calculating mean excitation energy.…”
