Abstract
The effects of energy transfer from swift ion radiation to molecules are best described by the stopping cross section of the target for the projectile ion. In turn, the mean excitation energy of the target is the determining factor in the stopping cross section. Using polarization propagator methodology, the mean excitation energies of the five DNA nucleobases have been calculated, and subsequently used to determine the stopping cross sections of the bases.
