Fig. 4From: Phenomenon-based evaluation of relative biological effectiveness of ion beams by means of the multiscale approachRBE for human normal cells irradiated with carbon ions: \(\text {RBE}_{\alpha } = \alpha _{\text{ion}}/\alpha _{\text{X}}\) (left panel) and RBE(2 Gy, \(\gamma\)) (right panel). Solid lines show the RBE values calculated by means of the MSA. The \(\text {RBE}_{\alpha }\) curves denoted as (1), (2), (3) correspond to experimental data (shown by symbols) from Belli et al. (2008), Suzuki et al. (2000) and Tsuruoka et al. (2005), respectivelyBack to article page
