Abstract

A model describing the biological efficiency of different types of ionizing radiation as a function of radiation energy has been developed. A method for estimating the relative biological efficiency by taking into account the contribution of photonuclear reactions in the energy range from the threshold of photonuclear reactions on light elements to 50 MeV is proposed. The results obtained are compared with the experimental and calculated data of other researchers.
