A Monte Carlo calculation of cell inactivation by light ions.

abstract：:Radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (dsbs) were measured in CHO-K1 cells by means of an experimental approach involving constant-field gel electrophoresis and densitometric scanning of ethidium bromide stained gels. For X-irradiation, an induction efficiency of 36 +/- 5 dsbs (Gy x cell)-1 was determined. With t...
