Enhanced Cell Inactivation and Double-Strand Break Induction in V79 Chinese Hamster Cells by Monochromatic X-rays at Phosphorus K-Shell Absorption Peak

The cell inactivation and DNA double-strand break (DSB) induction by K-shell ionization of phosphorus atoms and Auger electrons were investigated. Monochromatic X-rays of on and below the phosphorus K-shell absorption peak, 2.153 keV and 2.147 keV were exposed to Chinese hamster lung fibroblast V79...
