We present new developments for an ab-initio model of the neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in inducing specific classes of DNA damage. RBE is evaluated as a function of the incident neutron energy and of the depth inside a human-sized reference spherical phantom. The adopted mechanistic approach traces neutron RBE back to its origin, i.

We report a measurement of exclusive J/ψ and ψ(2s) photoproduction in Au+Au ultraperipheral collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV using the STAR detector. For the first time, (i) the ψ(2s) photoproduction in midrapidity at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider has been experimentally measured; (ii) nuclear suppression factors are measured for both the coherent and incoherent J/ψ production. At average photon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 25.

K^{+}K^{-} pairs may be produced in photonuclear collisions, either from the decays of photoproduced ϕ(1020) mesons or directly as nonresonant K^{+}K^{-} pairs. Measurements of K^{+}K^{-} photoproduction probe the couplings between the ϕ(1020) and charged kaons with photons and nuclear targets. The kaon-proton scattering occurs at energies far above those available elsewhere.

Damage to healthy bone following exposure to ionizing radiation has been well documented for at least seven decades. Among the reported effects are a transient increase in stiffness and a reduction in breaking strength. These changes have been linked to a decrease in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, inducing cell cycle arrest, reducing collagen production, and increasing sensitivity to apoptotic agents.

X-rays, electrons, and neutrons probe different properties of matter. X-rays feel electron density (ED). Electrons sense the electrostatic potential (ESP) of electrons and nuclei.
