1Results: The higher energy of the fast neutron beams represents lower RBE (ref.
2The effect of different averaging techniques in calculating RBE in mixed beams was also investigated.
3In addition, we obtained the RBE enhancement within the target by applying the LET-painting technique.
4Extension of this approach could generate data needed to optimize proton therapy plans incorporating variable RBE.
5Evaluation of the RBE calculation for mixed beam could be necessary if better accuracy was demanded.
6However, a constant value cannot account for potential nonlinear variations in RBE suggested by variable RBE models.
7The festival will also give a spotlight to rising artists Jessie Reyez, SOB x RBE and Saweetie.
8Iterative optimization with RBE models was feasible.
9Material and methods: 4D-dose calculation including variable RBE was implemented in the open source treatment planning toolkit matRad.
10A neutron RBE model is adopted to evaluate initial DNA damage induction given the neutron-induced charged particle field.
11The latter is defined as the product of the dose and the relative biological effectiveness (RBE).
12Clinical Monte Carlo (MC) calculations for carbon ion therapy have to provide absorbed and RBE-weighted dose.
13Here, we study the impact of motion on recalculations of RBE-weighted dose distributions using a phenomenological variable RBE model.
14There was also an increase in the RBE of NHEJ mutants when irradiated to SOBP carbon and iron ions.
15High values of the neutron RBE reduce-in line with recent suggestions by Rossi and Zaider-the risk estimates for gamma-rays substantially.
16A constant RBE = 1.1 was assumed for PT.
