Fast neutron relative biological effects and implications for charged particle therapy.
In two fast neutron data sets, comprising in vitro and in vivo experiments, an inverse relationship is found between the low-linear energy transfer (LET) α/β ratio and the maximum value of relative biological effect (RBE(max)), while the minimum relative biological effect (RBE(min)) is linearly rela...
