Abstract excerpt
Inactivation and induction of mutations in the HGPRT locus in Chinese hamster cells after irradiation with accelerated heavy ions in the LET range of 20 to 367 keV/micron were studied. In both cases, inactivation and induction of mutations, the LET dependence of RBE is described by a curve with a local maximum in the range of 80 to 100 keV/micron. The maximum RBE value for the mutagenic action is almost twice as...
