Length and Energy Dependence of Low-Energy Electron-Induced Strand Breaks in Poly(A) DNA

The DNA in living cells can be effectively damaged by high-energy radiation, which can lead to cell death. Through the ionization of water molecules, highly reactive secondary species such as low-energy electrons (LEEs) with the most probable energy around 10 eV are generated, which are able to indu...
