Proton radiobiology and uncertainties.

Radiation measurements - 1 Jun 1999

Yang T C

Abstract excerpt

This paper briefly reviews proton radiobiology. Clinical applications of protons produced by accelerators have led to a significant biological literature that contributes to our goal of estimating the proton shielding requirements for human interplanetary missions. Protons are primarily a low-LET radiation with biological effects much like gamma radiation. There are however data indicating enhanced biological...
