Relationship between relative biological effectiveness (RBE), clonogenic cell death, and LET for mammalian cells with carbon, neon, and iron [2,23,25]. Here, it can be seen that around 100 keV/micron, along the LET axis, there is a peak after which the RBE not only fails to increase but declines. Figure adapted from Sørenson [25].
