    Notes: Abstract A code for calculations of electron, ion and photon radiation action on tissue-equivalent matter (water vapor) by the Monte Carlo technique is presented. The new “fluctuation detector” method is efficient in evaluating of probability distributions and moments of absorbed energy and number of ionizations in small sites. Spatial and energy distributions of particles fluences and fluctuation characteristics of radiation action on spherical and thread-like sites of nanometer diameter are compared with various experimental and theoretical data and discussed. Non-equivalence of energy absorption and ionization events and consequences of that non-equivalence are numerically analysed. As an example of radiobiological application the yield of single- and double-strand breaks of DNA is calculated in a threshold model.

    Notes: Abstract In the present work, the general method proposed earlier for calculating the distribution density and moments of the absorbed energy in isolated sensitive regions of absorbers irradiated by ionizing particles is developed and made specific for the electron-photon problem. Electron transfer is considered within the framework of a model using grouping of excitations and slipping ionization; the presence of electron equilibrium in the vicinity of sensitive regions is assumed. Two similar methods of calculating these characteristics are developed. Both reduce the initial problem to two independent problems: determining the electron spectrum in the sensitive region (in one of the methods, the spectrum of electron sources is also needed) and calculating the coefficients characterizing electron transfer in the sensitive region and its immediate vicinity.

    Notes: Abstract The results of a calculation of the characteristics of fluctuations in the absorption of energy of electrons and gamma rays in small sensitive volumes of a material in electronic equilibrium are presented. The calculations were performed by the method developed in [1]. The efficiency and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by comparisons with the experimental results and direct numerical simulation. The experience gained in using the method is analyzed. The main numerical result of this work is a table of coefficients enabling the calculation of the probability of the absorption of energy and the first two moments of the energy absorbed in spherical regions with radii of 1, 2, 4, and 8 μm, starting only from the electronic spectrum in these regions, for water absorbers with arbitrary shape and arbitrary electronic or photonic sources with energies up to 1 MeV.
