Calculation of Heavy Ion Inactivation Probabilities Based on Track Structure, X Ray Sensitivity and Target Size
Abstract
A track structure model for the calculation of inactivation probabilities of heavy ions has been developed, which is based on measurable quantities only. The model describes the following inactivation properties of heavy ion radiation: (1) the transition from shouldered to exponential survival curves, depending on the atomic number, energy and LET of the particle; (2) the LET dependence of inactivation cross sections s, including the supralinear increase for low LET particles, the plateau region between 200 and 1000 keV.µm-1 and the s LET hooks for higher LET values; (3) differences in the shape of the s LET hooks for different biological objects; (4) the shift of RBE maxima from 30 to 300 keV.µm-1 with increasing atomic number; (5) the exchanged efficiency of heavy ions in the case of mixed radiation fields (X rays combined with heavy ion irradiation).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
