Abstract excerpt
V79 Chinese hamster cells were exposed to heavy ions (O to U) and assayed for mutants at the HGPRT-locus by incubation in selective medium containing 6-thioguanine. The LET ranged from 300 to 18000 keV/micrometer. Mutants could be recovered from all particle radiation but the effectivity per deposited energy decreased with atomic numbers greater than 8. The results are discussed with regard to fundamental...
