Abstract
The RBE [relative biological effectiveness] of the Fermilab fast neutron beam (.hivin.E = 25 MeV) relative to 6 MeV photons was studied for gastrointestinal and hemopoietic syndromes in the mouse. Dose fractionation experiments have allowed characterization of the RBE as a function of neutron dose and the calculation of cellular survival kinetic parameters and RBE coefficients. The Fermilab beam had a biological effect which is very similar to that of the 50 MeV d .fwdarw. Be TAMVEC beam.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
