Many experimental and theoretical advances have recently allowed the study of direct and
indirect effects of low-energy electrons (LEEs) on DNA damage. In an effort to explain how …

1. INTRODUCTION When a high-energy charged particle interacts with a biomolecule in
living tissues or cells, about 80% of the energy absorbed ionizes the medium, whereas the …

The damage induced by the impact of low energy electrons (LEE) on biomolecules is
reviewed from a radiobiological perspective with emphasis on transient anion formation. The …

Collisions of 0–4 eV electrons with thin DNA films are shown to produce single strand
breaks. The yield is sharply structured as a function of electron energy and indicates the …

It is now over ten years since the seminal experiments of Leon Sanche's group in
Sherbrooke have compellingly shown that subexcitation electrons interacting with DNA …

At the very early time of irradiation, ballistic secondary electrons are produced as the most
abundant of the radiolytic species directly within DNA or its environment. Here, we …

Electron-stimulated desorption of anions from thin films of linear and supercoiled DNA is
investigated in the range 3–20 eV. Resonant structures are observed with maxima at …

When high-energy radiation passes through aqueous material, low-energy electrons are
produced which cause DNA damage. Electronic states of anionic nucleobases have been …

We have investigated experimentally the formation of anions and cations of deoxyribose
sugar (C 5 H 10 O 4) via inelastic electron interaction (attachment/ionization) using a …

We present a detailed study on dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to isolated gas-
phase cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The experimental setup used for these measurements is …
