Anna J Mason scite author profile

The overall biological effectiveness of the mixed field irradiation from an epithermal neutron sources depends on the composition and quality of the different dose components. The experimentally derived RBE values for the total high-LET dose components in these 'mixed field' irradiations are well in excess of historical data for fast neutrons. The difference between the historically expected and the observed RBE values is attributed to the interactions between the damage produced by high- and low-LET radiation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
