Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociative electron attachment to condensed and adsorbed halomethanes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed and characterized dissociative electron attachment (DEA) processes for sub-monolayer and multilayer quantities of CCl4, CDCl3, CD2Cl2, CH3Cl, and CH3Br adsorbed on metallic substrates and sub monolayer quantities adorbed onto Kr spacer layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of secondary low energy electrons in radiobiology and chemoradiation therapy of cancer
Léon Sanche,Léon Sanche +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic radiation-damage mechanism responsible for the efficiency of the concomitant chemoradiation treatment of cancer was explained, and a basic comprehension of the direct effects of radiation may have implications in the design of new chemotherapeutic and radiosensitizing drugs, as well as in the development of more efficient protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental mechanisms of DNA radiosensitization: damage induced by low-energy electrons in brominated oligonucleotide trimers.
TL;DR: Substitution of any native nucleobase with a brominated one in simple models of DNA increases LEE-induced damage to DNA and hence its radiosensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between x-ray photon and secondary electron damage to DNA in vacuum
TL;DR: This new method of investigation of the SE-induced damage to large biomolecules allows direct comparison of the yield of products induced by high energy photons and LEEs under identical experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of anionic excitations in the rare-gas solids and their coupling to dissociative states of adsorbed molecules.
TL;DR: It is experimentally demonstrated that (electron plus exciton) core-excited resonances are formed by low-energy electron scattering in the Ar, Kr, and Xe rare-gas solids at 11.6±0.2 eV.
