Dose rate analysis according to the theory of dual radiation action
Creators
Description
Radiation-induced sublesions are repaired as a function of time, with the number of sublesions decreasing with time. The probability that sublesions will interact with others produced later will depend on the repair rate. Thus predictions of the dual radiation theory depend on the rate of production of sublesions, and hence on dose rates. A simultaneous fit to five levels of excess tumors is plotted against the irradiation period. The fit is very good. The value for X2 is only 2.74 for as many as 28 data points, corresponding to a total of 21 degrees of freedom. Thus, the analysis strongly favors the dual radiation theory
