Description
The survival ratios of yeast cells as a function of carbon beam penetration into a plastic block were evaluated at an initial energy of 135 MeV/amu. The cells were inserted into holes at several depths along the beam path. We estimated the inactivation ratios of both the haploid and the budding response of the haploid cell for the wild and the sensitive strain at stationary and growth phase. The ratios along the beam path were applicable as a method of beam adjustment in the planning of heavy ion therapy. (orig.)
