Comparison of RBE (circles, in a) and OER (triangles, in b) as a function of dose averaged LET (which is synonymous of the “track-averaged LET” defined earlier in the text) and two different conditions of oxygen saturation (Weyrather and Kraft 2004). Irradiation of V79 cells were carried out using carbon ions. Reprinted from (Weyrather and Kraft 2004) with permission from Elsevier
