Résumé
The purpose is to verify experimentally whether application of magnetic fields longitudinal and perpendicular to a proton beam alters the biological effectiveness of the radiation. Proton beams with linear energy transfer of 1.1 and 3.3 keV/μm irradiated human cancer and normal cells under a longitudinal (perpendicular) magnetic field of B For cancer cells exposed to the 1.1- (3.3-) keV/μm proton beams, R The biological effectiveness of proton beams was significantly enhanced by longitudinal magnetic fields of B
