Use of Density Functional Theory to determine cross sections for elastic scattering of ions in water

Favoritar este trabalho

This project aims to combine Density Functional Theory (DFT) with classical scattering theory to determine elastic cross sections of protons interacting with water. This cross sections will be used on Monte Carlo simulations of proton interaction with geometrical model of DNA. DFT is used to determine electrostatic potential around a water molecule. This way, the molecular effects in cross section can be taken into account.
