Biophysical Aspects of the Space Radiation Effects Laboratory (SREL) 710-MeV Helium Ion Beam: Physical Measurements and Dosimetry

The 710-MeV helium ion (_{2}^{4}{\rm He}{}^{2+}$) beam at the Space Radiation Effects Laboratory (SREL) may be appropriately modulated for use in both clinical radiotherapy and related laboratory studies, and in space radiobiology research. The physical measurements, dosimetry techniques, and biophy...

Description
Summary:The 710-MeV helium ion (_{2}^{4}{\rm He}{}^{2+}$) beam at the Space Radiation Effects Laboratory (SREL) may be appropriately modulated for use in both clinical radiotherapy and related laboratory studies, and in space radiobiology research. The physical measurements, dosimetry techniques, and biophysical variables related to such studies are presented.
