Report

Study of the initial processes of radiation effects using synchrotron radiation

  • 1. National Lab. for High Energy Physics, Tsukuba, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Necessity for the research of production mechanisms of molecular damages in biological system and usefulness of monochromatic soft X-ray in these studies are described. Synchrotron radiation are introduced as a strong light source with continuous spectrum. Practically, it is the only light source in soft X-ray and vacuum UV region. Development of irradiation apparatus for radiation biology and recent results using various biological systems are reviewed. (author)
