Figure 7: Variation with neutron energy and location in the phantom of neutron induced DNA damage.
From: The origin of neutron biological effectiveness as a function of energy
Neutron induced DNA damage: (a) DNA fragments shorter than 30 bp; (b) DSB clusters; damage per Gy per cell as a function of neutron initial energy in the three scoring regions in the phantom. Lines are drawn to guide the eye. Error bars come from standard deviations among results on doses of secondary species for batches in a single run as given by PHITS.
