Abstract
Lack of influence of the wave-length of X-rays on their genetic effects can be understood independently of the hit theory. A generalized treatment of the dependence of the effectiveness of radiation on the ion-density enables us to consider the influence of several hitherto neglected factors. A modified pattern of biophysical analysis of the X-ray action is suggested.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
