Heavy particles like protons or heavier ions are different in their biological efficiency when compared to sparsely ionizing radiation. These differences have been attributed to the different pattern of energy deposition in the track of the particles. In radiobiological models two different approaches are used for the characterization of the radiation quality: the continuous dose distribution of the various track structure models and the separation in small compartments inside the track which are used in microdosimetry. In a recent Monte Carlo calculation using the binary encounter approximation as input for the electron emission process, the radial distribution of the dose is calculated for heavy ions. The result of this calculation is compared to other models and used for a qualitative interpretation of the induction of DNA damage by particles.
