Abstract
Ionization and fragmentation of DNA and its constituents is it primary step in biological radiation damage. In this paper we investigate the response of nucleobases upon interaction with keV singly and multiply charged ions. The dependence of ionization and fragmentation on ion atomic number Z, charge state q and velocity r is investigated. The effect of the target molecule is discussed as well.

It is shown that reactions of such electrons, even at energies well below ionization thresholds, induce substantial yields of single- and double-strand breaks in DNA, which are caused by rapid decays of transient molecular resonances localized on the DNA's basic components.

These experiments demonstrated the production of single and double strand breaks, which could be due to several processes: direct collisions with DNA constituent atoms resulting in displacements, cascade recoil collisions of the constituent atoms, electron transfer processes between the ion and the DNA as well as breaks induced by molecular excitation and secondary electron interactions.
