Title: Toward a theory of the initiation of cancer by ionizing radiation: track structure analysis for electrons and alpha particles in water

Abstract

Following a method of Kim differential cross sections have been constructed in analytical form for the ionization of water by electrons and alpha particles. By generalizing Wideroe's bookkeeping mmethod the number of higher order delta rays were found. (ACR)
