Radiation damage induced by ion beams is traditionally treated at different levels of theoretical approaches, for the different scales and mechanisms involved.We present here details of a combined approach that, from a method at a nanoscopic scale, attempts to merge with higher scales existing results, by tuning the analytical method employed when extended to larger scale and so yielding a consistent picture of the entire process. Results will show the possibility to get a good agreement with macroscale methods and, on the other hand, to produce a reliable electron energy spectra to be used for DNA damage estimations.
