Radiation Damage in Biomolecular Systems. Proceedings of the 5th International Conference (Radam 2008)

About this book

The objective of the meeting was to review our progress in obtaining a detailed understanding of the fundamental interaction processes initiated by the deposition of various types of radiation within biological material. The program represents a strong interdisciplinary approach, covering the range from photon-, electron- and ion-molecule interactions, to the clinical applications.
