Abstract
Based on Chap. 2, the most important interaction processes for understanding biological radiation effects are described and treated quantitatively. Charged particles are particularly emphasized since they play an essential role in the effects of ionizing radiation. This also involves fundamental approaches for the determination of ranges and fluence distributions.
