* <span style="color:#ff0000"> dnageometry </span>: This example simulates the track structure of different charge particles within a simplified geometrical model of the DNA molecule contained in a cell nucleus. The output is type of particle, type of process, energy deposit and energy loss for every simulation step. | * <span style="color:#ff0000"> dnageometry </span>: This example simulates the track structure of different charge particles within a simplified geometrical model of the DNA molecule contained in a cell nucleus.

This setup is mainly used to investigate the effects of low dose irradiation on living cells. The realistic cell phantom is obtained from confocal microscopy and from ion beam anlysis techniques. Alpha particles of 3 MeV are incident on the phantom. Calculated is the dose deposited in the cell cytoplasm and in the cell nucleus. | + | * <span style="color:#ff0000"> microbeam </span>: This example simulates the cellular irradiation beam line installed on the [http://www.cenbg.in2p3.fr/-AIFIRA-Home-?lang=en AIFIRA] electrostatic accelerator facility located at [http://www.cenbg.in2p3.fr/ CENBG], Bordeaux-Gradignan, France.
