Differential track structure of electrons in liquid water

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The differential spectrum of energy loss events produced in liquid water by electrons has been calculated using a differential cross-section incorporating exchange and binding. The average energy loss in a single event is found to vary from about 28 to about 68 eV for 100 eV for 100 eV to 1 MeV electrons, respectively. All energy loss events above a certain level (set either to 1 or to 5 keV) are assumed to produce branch tracks, which are further degraded using a Monte Carlo technique. The total track averaged energy loss per event for a 1 MeV electron is found to be about 57 eV.
