The influences of water molecules surrounding biological molecules duringirradiation with heavy particles (atoms,ions) are currently a major subject inradiation science on a molecular level. In order to elucidate the underlyingcomplex reaction mechanisms we have initiated a joint experimental andtheoretical investigation with the aim to make direct comparisons betweenexperimental and theoretical results. As a first step, studies of collisions ofa water molecule with a neutral projectile (C atom) at high velocities (> 0.1a.u.), and with a charged projectile (proton) at low velocities (< 0.1 a.u.)have been studied within the microscopic framework. In particular,time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) was applied to the valenceelectrons and coupled non-adiabatically to Molecular dynamics (MD) for ioniccores. Complementary experimental developments have been carried out to studyprojectile interactions with accelerated (< 10 keV) and mass-selected clusterions. The first size distributions of protonated water cluster ions H+(H_2O)_n(n=2-39) produced using this new apparatus are presented.
