On the Question of RBE Reversal at High Doses

- Summary

Abstract

We present theoretical arguments to explain observations of a "reversal" of the RBE at relatively large doses; that is, the RBE of high-LET vs low-LET radiation is less than one. Numerical examples are given and the results of Bogo et al. (Radiat. Res. 118, 341-352, 1989) are discussed qualitatively.
