TLDR
In this paper, the distribution of low-energy electrons produced in the radiolysis of liquid water is characterized, and the most probable energy and mean energy for secondary electron produced by a primary ion are ∼ 9 − 10 and 50 − 60 eV, respectively, depending on the specific energy of the primary ion.About:

Biomolecular Damage Induced by Ionizing Radiation: The Direct and Indirect Effects of Low-Energy Electrons on DNA
TL;DR: The current understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in LEE-induced damage of DNA and complex biomolecule films is summarized and the potential of controlling this damage using molecular and nanoparticle targets with high LEE yields in targeted radiation-based cancer therapies is discussed.

Elahe Alizadeh,Léon Sanche +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the chiral stationary phase of the ECSBM using a single chiral Monte Carlo method, developed at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1998 and refined at the behest of the manufacturer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the production of low-energy electrons in amorphous medium-sized water clusters, which simulate water molecules in an aqueous environment, and identify a hitherto unrecognized extra source of lowenergy electrons produced by a non-local autoionization process called intermolecular coulombic decay (ICD).

Critical Review of rate constants for reactions of hydrated electrons, hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl radicals (⋅OH/⋅O− in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: In this article, the rate constants for over 3500 reaction are tabulated, including reaction with molecules, ions and other radicals derived from inorganic and organic solutes, and the corresponding radical anions, ⋅O− and eaq−, have been critically pulse radiolysis, flash photolysis and other methods.

Some biochemical consequences of the spatial distribution of ionizing radiation-produced free radicals.
TL;DR: In the case of DNA, several authors have shown that DNA is necessarily at high concentration and consequently will interact with the radicals formed in the spur, etc, and the consequences of such events must be considered.
