Table 2.

Total fluence and fluence-weighted total energy of photo/Auger electrons per photon from each source located at the center of a 3 × 3 × 3 cm³ tumor loaded with gold nanoparticles at 7 mg Au g⁻¹ (PE: photoelectron, AE: Auger electron). The origin of electrons, either gold or tissue elements within a gold-loaded tissue, is noted in each column where applicable.
