A phenomenological biological dose model for proton therapy based on linear energy transfer spectra

Purpose The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of protons varies with the radiation quality, quantified by the linear energy transfer (LET). Most phenomenological models employ a linear dependency of the dose‐averaged LET (LETd) to calculate the biological dose. However, several experiments hav...
