Biological effectiveness of ion beam is considered to be dependent on their its radiation quality, i.e., energy and elemental distribution in the beam. Dose-mean linear energy transfer (LET) is often introduced as an index of the complex radiation quality to describe its biological effectiveness. This study is aimed at investigating the applicability of the dose-mean LET as an index of biological effectiveness through cell survival experiment in various conditions., The 7th Korea-Japan Joint Meeting on Medical Physics}, title = {Applicability of dose-mean LET as an index of biological effectiveness of therapeutic carbon-ion beams}, year = {2014} }
