TL;DR: This work presents a comparative investigation of cell killing RBE variations along monoenergetic and modulated proton beams using human normal and radioresistant cells with the aim to investigate the RBE dependence on LET and intrinsic radiosensitvity and highlights the limitation of adoption of a constant RBE for proton therapy.

Validation of the Geant4 electromagnetic photon cross-sections for elements and compounds
TL;DR: The Geant4 toolkit as mentioned in this paper provides a wide set of alternative models to describe the electromagnetic interaction of photons with matter, and the photon cross-sections that are used by the geant4 electromagnetic models have been compared to external reference libraries (NIST, EPDL97, SANDIA) for several elements and compounds.
