A double strand DNA break model of photon and electron relative biological effectiveness

A double strand DNA break model of photon and electron relative biological effectiveness

The ICRP recommends a radiation weighting factor of one for all low-LET radiation. However, many experimental studies find inconsistencies between low-LET RBE and the ICRP's current radiation weighting factor. Generally, there is evidence that dependence exists between radiation energy and ra...
