Monoenergetic 290 MeV/n carbon-ion beam biological lethal dose distribution surrounding the Bragg peak
Abstract The sharp high dose Bragg peak of a carbon-ion beam helps it to deliver the highest dosage to the malignant cells while leaving the normal cells relatively unharmed. However, the precise range in which it distributes dosages that significantly induce cell death or genotoxicity surrounding i...
