Comparison of biophysical models with experimental data for three cell lines in response to irradiation with monoenergetic ions

The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in particle therapy is currently estimated using biophysical models. We compared experimental measurements to the α curves as function of linear energy transfer computed by the Local Effect Model (LEM I-IV), the Microdosimetric Kinetic Model (MKM) and the...
