Effects of negative pi mesons on mouse bone marrow cells. [Gamma radiation]

OSTI ID:7362347
Mouse bone marrow cells exposed in vitro to graded doses of negative pi mesons at 3.5--6.0 rads/min. gave D/sub 0/ values of 160 rads in the plateau (0.6 and 12.0 cm), and 130 rads in the peak (16.5 and 18.4 cm). Survival curve shoulders were narrow, with D/sub q/ values of 25 and 15 rads for plateau and peak positions. Gamma rays from /sup 60/Co at 4.5 rads/min. produced a curve with wider shoulder but steeper slope such that the RBE was essentially 1 for single doses between 100--400 rads.
