This communication investigated how timing of the magnetic field application with respect to beam irradiation influenced this effect. Human cancer cells were exposed to carbon-ion beams with linear energy transfer (LET) of 12 and 50 keV/μm. The longitudinal magnetic field of 0.3 T was applied to the cells just before, during, or right after the beam irradiation. The effects of the timing on the biological effectiveness were evaluated by cell survival. The biological effectiveness increased only if the magnetic field was applied during beam irradiation for both LET beams.}, pages = {662--665}, title = {Effects of Magnetic Field Applied Just Before, During or Immediately after Carbon-Ion Beam Irradiation on its Biological Effectiveness}, volume = {192}, year = {2019} }
