Introduction

TOPAS-nBio facilitates the use of the physical and chemical processes available in the Geant4-DNA Toolkit.

TOPAS-nBio further provides additional capabilities:

  1. New physics and chemistry lists designed to match experimental G-values as described in our publications Citations

  2. The possibility to customize physical models using modules involved in the pre-defined physics list.

  3. Definition of regions to activate different physics lists, e.g. Geant4-DNA.

  4. The use of a variance reduction techniques.

  5. Reconfiguration of parameters for the physico-chemical stages.

  6. Explicit transport and visualization of the chemical species in the chemical stage.

Here we provide a list of available options for the physics and chemistry settings as well as several examples to retrieve the spatio-temporal information of the physical and chemical tracks in different geometrical components, e.g. via particle tuple or single and double strand breaks.
