Advancements in Monte Carlo simulations with gMicroMC: reactive species build-up promotes radical-radical reactions at Flash dose rates

Year: 2025

Type: preprint

Abstract: Gy/s, respectively. At ultra-high dose rates, the brief intervals between pulses led to a reactive species build-up, which enhanced radical-radical reactions. This build-up is more likely to promote radical-radical reactions than the inter-track mechanism. The advancements in gMicroMC provide a sophisticated tool to study chemical dose rate dependencies.
