Abstract excerpt
A model for the induction of transformation, mutation, and cell killing by radiations of intermediate to high linear energy transfer (LET) is presented. The mathematical formulation presupposes a constant probability per unit path length for damaging multiple subcellular targets by radiation of a fixed LET. The coupling between effects is accounted for through an explicit calculation of the probability that any...
