Resumo
Abstract—The coefficients of the relative biological efficiency of a carbon ion beam with an energy of 450 MeV/nucleon upon the irradiation of mice at a dose of 6.5 Gy in different parts of the Bragg curve have been determined by the 30-day survival test, the dynamics of death, and the average life expectancy of mice in comparison with exposure to X-ray radiation. The integral value of the coefficients of the relative biological efficiency of carbon ions upon irradiation before the Bragg peak is 0.8, in the spread-out Bragg peak it is 1.5, and after the Bragg peak, it is 0.7. The value of the relative biological efficiency in the modified Bragg peak, as calculated by the ratio of doses that lead to the death of 50% of the animals, was 2.9. Changes of the width of the modified Bragg peak did not affect the death rate of the animals.
