Track Structure Theory

Track Structure Theory is a theoretical framework in radiation chemistry that characterizes the spatial and temporal distribution of energy deposition events along the trajectory of ionizing radiation to predict the initial molecular damage and subsequent biological outcomes, thereby distinguishing itself from other radiobiological models by explicitly linking microscopic track architecture to relative biological effectiveness.
