Mapping neutron biological effectiveness for DNA damage induction as a function of incident energy and depth in a human sized phantom
16 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
We present new developments for an ab-initio model of the neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in inducing specific classes of DNA damage. RBE is evaluated as a function of the incident neutron energy and of the depth inside a human-sized reference spherical phantom. The adopted mechanistic approach traces neutron RBE back to its origin, i.e. neutron physical interactions with biological tissues. To...
