Variation in RBE for survival of V79-4 cells as a function of alpha-particle (helium ion) energy

High linear energy transfer (LET) α particles are important with respect to the carcinogenic risk associated with human exposure to ionizing radiation, most notably to radon and its progeny. Additionally, the potential use of alpha-particle-emitting radionuclides in radiotherapy is increasingly bein...
