Description/Abstract:
THIS PROPOSAL IS TO STUDY THE RADIOBIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF NEGATIVE PIONS BY USING THE PI NEGATIVE BEAM AT THE LET CHANNEL. THIS PROGRAM WILL ALLOW US TO GET A START ON SOME OF THE RELEVANT PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE BIOMEDICAL CHANNEL. SOME OF THE RESULTS, WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED RELATIVELY QUICKLY, WILL BE THE BASIS FOR DOSE PRESCRIPTION IN FUTURE BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENTS REQUIRING HIGHER INTENSITIES. EARLY RBE MEASUREMENTS ARE CRUCIAL FOR SUBSEQUENT PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL RADIO RADIOBIOLOGY EXPERIMENTS.
