Abstract:Soft
X-rays behave like particles with high linear energy transfer,
as they deposit a large amount of their energy in the nanometric range,
triggered by inner-shell ionization. In water, this can lead to the
formation of a doubly ionized water molecule (H2O2+) and the emission of two secondary electrons (photoelectron and
Auger electron). Our focus lies on detecting and quantifying the superoxide
(HO2°) production via the direct pathway, i.e., from
the reaction between the dissociation product of H2O2+, i.e., … Show more
