Abstract excerpt
Uncertainties in risk assessment from solar particle events (SPE) include the role of high linear energy transfer (LET) secondary ions, the assessment of dose-rate effects as they relate to acute injury, the risk of cancer mortality and the modification of health effects due to the stress of spaceflight. We discuss several issues where new knowledge is required for improving estimates of radiation risk from...
