摘要
The production, diffusion, and interaction of particle beam induced water-derived radicals is studied with the a pre-chemical and chemical module of the Monte Carlo particle track structure code TRAX, based on a step by step approach. After a description of the model implemented, the chemical evolution of the most important products of water radiolysis is studied for electron, proton, helium, and carbon ion radiation at different energies. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the calculated time and LET dependent yield with experimental data from literature and other simulation approaches. (C) 2018 The Authors.
