Abstract excerpt
Survival curves of S. cerevisiae wild type and rad 50, 51, 52 and 54 mutants in haploid and diploid strains were measured after gamma-ray and alpha-particle irradiation in stationary and exponential phase of growth. The values of RBE of high-LET radiation, defined as the ratio of the mean lethal doses after sparsely and densely ionizing radiations, were determined. A correlation between the RBE of alpha-particles...
