Biological Effectiveness of Accelerated Protons for Chromosome Exchanges

We have investigated chromosome exchanges induced in human cells by 7 different energies of protons (5 MeV to 2.5 GeV) with LET values ranging from 0.2 to 8 keV/m. Human lymphocytes were irradiated in vitro and chromosome damage was assessed using three-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FIS...
