Mapping neutron biological effectiveness for DNA damage induction as a function of incident energy and depth in a human sized phantom

Abstract We present new developments for an ab-initio model of the neutron relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in inducing specific classes of DNA damage. RBE is evaluated as a function of the incident neutron energy and of the depth inside a human-sized reference spherical phantom. The adopted...
