A Simpler Energy Transfer Efficiency Model to Predict Relative Biological Effect (RBE) for Protons and Heavier Ions.
The aim of this work is to predict relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for protons and clinically relevant heavier ions, by using a simplified semi-empirical process based on rational expectations and published experimental results using different ion species. The model input parameters are: Z (...
