Abstract excerpt

The present study was conducted to clarify the lethality of Auger cascades induced by the K-shell photoabsorption of phosphorus in Escherichia coli. Killing of wild-type and radiation-sensitive mutants of E. coli was examined. Three x-ray energies were chosen for irradiation; at 2.153 keV: the re...
