Cell Inactivation and Double-Strand Breaks: The Role of Core Ionizations, as Probed by Ultrasoft X Rays

TL;DR: Results suggest that core ionizations in DNA, through core-hole relaxation in conjunction with localized effects of spatially correlated secondary and Auger electrons, may be the major critical events for cell inactivation, and that the resulting DSBs (or a constant fraction of these D SBs) may be a major class of unrepairable lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lethal effect of carbon K-shell photoionizations in Chinese hamster V79 cell nuclei: experimental method and theoretical analysis.

TL;DR: An extrapolation to the lethal effect of more complex ion-induced K- shell ionizations indicates that K-shell ionization may be a major process in the biological effectiveness of heavy ions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological effects induced by K photo-ionisation in and near constituent atoms of DNA.

TL;DR: A rough two-fold increase of the relative biological effectiveness for dicentric + ring induction has also been observed between 250 and 340 eV radiations.
