title = "First attempts at prediction of DNA strand-break yields using nanodosimetric data",
abstract = "We present the first results of our attempts to correlate yields of ionisation clusters in a gas model of DNA and corresponding double-strand break (DSB) yields in irradiated plasmids, using a simple statistical model of DNA lesion formation. Based on the same statistical model, we also provide a comparison of simulated nanodosimetric data for electrons and published DSB yields obtained with the PARTRAC code.",
