As well as being a significant source of environmental radiation exposure, α-particles are increasinglyconsidered for use in targeted radiation therapy. A better understanding of α-particle induced damageat the DNA scale can be achieved by following their tracks in real-time in targeted living cells. Focusedα-particle microbeams can facilitate this but, due to their low energy (up to a few MeV) and limitedrange, α-particles detection, delivery, and follow-up observations of radiation-induced damage remaindifficult. In this study, we developed a thin Boron-doped Nano-Crystalline Diamond membrane thatallows reliable single α-particles detection and single cell irradiation with negligible beam scattering.The radiation-induced responses of single 3MeV α-particles delivered with focused microbeam arevisualized in situ over thirty minutes after irradiation by the accumulation of the GFP-tagged RNF8protein at DNA damaged sites.< Réduire
