title: About some physical mechanisms of statistics of radiation-induced effects formation and non-linear cell response in low dose area.
abstract: A new cascade-stochastic approach to solve the direct and inverse problems of radiation-induced effect statistics in track biodetectors is presented in this paper. The analysis of the experimental data has made it possible to establish a non-linear nature of the "dose-effect" dependence in low dose area. For the first time, a new determination of the relative biological efficiency and quality coefficient of ionizing radiation in area of low doses are proposed.
