METHOD OF GENERATING LOW-ENERGY SECONDARY ELECTRONS FOR APPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, RADIOCHEMISTRY, AND CHEMISTRY OF POLYMERS AND PHYSICS OF RADIOTHERAPY

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for generating low-energy electrons in a biological material. The biological material is held in position by a support. Laser beam pulses are directed by a focusing mechanism toward a region of interest within the biological material. This generates filaments of low-energy electrons within the region of interest. The method and system may be used for radiotherapy, radiochemistry, sterilization, nanoparticle coating, nanoparticle generation, and like uses.
