Phenomenon-based evaluation of relative biological effectiveness of ion beams by means of the multiscale approach

Abstract Background Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is a key quantity for the description of radiobiological effects induced by charged-particle irradiation in the context of ion-beam cancer therapy. Since RBE is a complex function that depends on different physical, chemical, and biological...
