【 摘 要 】

We present a nanodosimeter software based on Monte Carlo, termed: Low Energy Particle Track Simulation. For medical applications purposes, we propose bond breakings to describe the energy deposited taking water as an example. This tool aims to improve current treatment planning approach based on absorbed dose.
