Abstract:
An attempt towards an experimental set up which could provide the experimental data on correlation processes occurred simultaneously in two distanced DNA targets within a charged particle track is presented. A modified Jet Counter nanodosemeter was used in two experiments with carbon ions with mean energies of 52 and 23 MeV. The probability distributions of the correlated pairs of ionisation clusters produced in two neighbouring sensitive volumes are presented. A question of potential new descriptors of radiation quality is raised.
