We present a unified treatment of the prevalence of different double ionization (DI) pathways as a function of the sum of the final electron energies in strongly driven Helium. We do so as a function of laser frequency and intensity. At…

Chemical purity of RNA samples is critical for high-precision studies of RNA folding and catalytic behavior, but such purity may be compromised by photodamage accrued during ultraviolet (UV) visualization of gel-purified samples. Here, we…

Postulating that increasing linear energy transfer (LET) causes non-random clustering of lethal lesions to deviate from the Poisson distribution, we employ a non-Poisson approach as a more flexible alternative that accounts for…

Radiotherapy is used to treat cancer patients by damaging DNA of tumor cells using ionizing radiation. Photons are the most widely used radiation type for therapy, having been put into use soon after the first discovery of X-rays in 1895.…

In molecular photofragmentation processes by soft X-rays, a number of ionic fragments can be produced, each having a different abundance and correlation with the emitted electron kinetic energy. For investigating these fragmentation…
