TL;DR: A review of recent progress in the development of particle track simulation for electron, low-energy light ions and finally the recent model development for the low energy electron cross-sections in liquid water can be found in this article.

TL;DR: A systematic bench-marking of cross-sections and spectra of the secondary electrons shows differences between the codes at atomic level, but such differences are not significant in biophysical modelling at the macromolecular level.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that concepts of condensed-matter physics along with the new genomic knowledge and technologies and mechanistic mathematical modeling in conjunction with advances in experimental DNA repair and cell signaling have now provided us with unprecedented opportunities in radiation biophysics to address problems in targeted cancer therapy, and genetic risk estimation in humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a Monte Carlo track structure code KURBUC encompassing the energy range between 10 eV and 10 MeV and compared the tracks generated by MOCA8B in terms of radial distributions of interactions, point kernel and frequencies of energy deposition in small cylindrical targets pertaining to biological macromolecules such as DNA.

TL;DR: It is concluded that all codes, using different cross sections and in different phase, currently used for biophysical modeling exhibit close similarities for energy deposition in larger size targets while appreciable differences are observed in B-DNA-size targets.
