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 resonance peak of K-shell photoabsorption of phosphorus; at 2.146 and 2.160 keV: off-peak. Enhancement ratio, which was...
