The Relative Biological Effectiveness of Radiations of Different Quality is a survey of the literature relevant to the selection of relative biological effectiveness values for use in arriving at values of Q for neutrons and other particles with a high rate of linear energy transfer. Except for internal emitters, there is no data on which RBE for high-LET radiations can be estimated for humans. The focus of this report is on RBE data from plant and animal studies to the almost total exclusion of RBE data from human studies.
