Physical Parameters Related to Quantify Quality of Effectiveness of Charged Particles at Lower Doses
TLDR
In this paper, the quality factors for protons and helium particles for cell inactivation using linear energy transfer were determined for V79 cells, and the quality has also been investigated as a function for other physical parameters, such as mean free path and effective charge for the particles.Citations

Relative biological effectiveness(RBE), quality factor(Q), and radiation weighting factor(WR)
TL;DR: The effect of ionising radiation is influenced by the dose, the dose rate, and the quality of the radiation as mentioned in this paper, which is the main objective of the present report, as well as the underlying relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values.
Journal Article
The quality factor in radiation protection
TL;DR: The concept of dose equivalent was first proposed by Taylor as mentioned in this paper, who used the linear energy transfer (LET) to measure the amount of energy lost by charged particles per unit distance traversed.
