Leader: QUB and ULille
Task 4.1: Analysis of energy deposition and ionization of water for protons for energies down to the Bragg peak
Task 4.2: Establishing contact with Geant4-DNA developers, organization of a meeting, and report with a list of both necessary studies (to explain disagreement of Geant4-DNA results with experiments) and first feasibility studies
Task 4.3: Similar analysis as in Task 4.1 for a realistic model of DNA. In order to check how meaningful is the analysis in 4.1 within the biological context, we will repeat some selected simulations in a more realistic model that will include a fragment of DNA
Task 4.4: Studies towards connecting to Geant4-DNA for secondary electrons
Task 4.7: Communication activities.
Task 7.1: Roadmap on future studies needed, from the perspective of chemical physics/condensed matter community, to improve the understand of biological damage
