In order to simulate the yields of low-energy electrons induced DNA strand breaks, according to D. Emfietzoglous dielectric response theory and Borns correction model, we calculated the inelastic reaction cross sections for low-energy electron transport in liquid water. The physic module on the basis of the Geant4-DNA was established, and also the pre-chemical, chemical, DNA damage analysis modules were established. The yields of DNA strand breaks caused by the different energy electrons uniformly irradiating DNA were simulated, and the simulation results are in good agreement with the published experimental data.
