Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of accelerated carbon ions generated with a synchrotron for inducing mutations as a function of linear energy transfer (LET), using the loss of heterozygosity for wing-hair mutations and the reversion of the mutant white-ivory eye-c...
