Abstract
Several reports have been published on the RBE protons with energy less than 100 MeV in relation to mortality rate, organ damage and cytological changes in mammals. Recent advances in physics and technology have made it possible to study the RBE of protons with energy greater than 100 MeV. In the present report the RBE protons with energy greater than 126 MeV is estimated on the basis of the experimental data presented by several authors.Keywords
