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 …

The experimental and theoretical study of molecular anions has undergone explosive
growth over the past 40 years. Advances in techniques used to generate anions in …

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 …

We overview our recent theoretical predictions and the innovative experimental findings that
inspired us concerning the mechanisms by which very low-energy (0.1− 2 eV) free electrons …

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 …

Sharp peaks in the dissociative electron attachment (DEA) cross sections of uracil and
thymine at energies below 3 eV are assigned to vibrational Feshbach resonances (VFRs) …

Electron attachment to gas phase thymine and uracil leads to H-loss within a broad and
structured feature in the energy range between about 5 and 12 eV consisting of 4 …

Electron attachment processes in isolated molecules in the gas phase, in clusters and in
molecules condensed on surfaces are reviewed, and a special section is dedicated to …
