Abstract
The subject “energy deposition” of radiation has several theoretical aspects, which could be classified e.g. according to the scale or object of interest as
-
macroscopic (e.g. dose distribution in extended bodies or an organ),
-
microscopic (e.g. in a mammalian cell or a makromolecule),
-
radiation field related (e.g. radiation shielding, differential energy loss), and
-
target related (e.g. yields of chemically reactive species, induction of mutations).
