Production and distribution of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes by particle beams with different LET
17 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
We investigated induction of chromosome aberrations (CA) in human lymphocytes when exposed to 150 MeV and spread out Bragg peak (SOBP) proton beams, and 199 MeV/u carbon beam which are currently widely used for cancer treatment and simultaneously are important components of cosmic radiation. For a comparison, the boron ions of much lower energy 22 MeV/u and a 60Co γ rays were used. Dose–effect curves as well as...
