The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) was determined for proton beams of 31,12, and 8 MeV produced at the Milano University Cyclotron. Survival curves for human cells grown in monolayer at different proton energies and for ..gamma.. rays from /sup 60/Co were determined. The minimum clone size to be chosen for definition of true survivors was examined. RBE values of 1.0 +- 0.1, 1.4 +- 0.2, and 1.5 +- 0.2, respectively, were found and compared with the results of other experiments in this energy range.
