RBE-dose relations for neutrons and pions.
From cellular radiosensitivity parameters and theoretical particle-energy spectra in tissue, of the secondary particles from neutron and negative pion irradiations, RBE-Dose relations have been calculated. The theoretical results are compared with clinical and radiobiological data for normal tissue, tumours and cells in culture. Formulae for calculation, cellular parameters and the needed properties of equivalent 'track-segment bombardments' are given, for several mammalian cells irradiated with pions and with neutrons of several energies.
