Figure 1

Geometrical model of cell nucleus and its sub-structure. Double helix DNA (left top) is wrapped by histone forming chromatin fiber (2nd left top, left: double helix DNA/right: DNA fibre and histone). Chromatin fibres are assembled as fractal (3rd left top) and confined in ellipsoidal cell nucleus (4th left top). Materials surrounding cell nucleus and beam geometry are shown in bottom panels, for both protons and gamma rays.
