The Organ Sparing Potential of Different Biological Optimization Strategies in Proton Therapy
Advances in Radiation Oncology, 2021 Purpose: Variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) models allow for differences in linear energy transfer (LET), physical dose, and tissue type to be accounted for when quantifying and optimizing the biological damage of protons.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A Monte Carlo study of proton LET calculations: Comparison between the codes PENHAN, FLUKA, and TOPAS. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background Linear energy transfer (LET) is frequently used to characterize radiation quality in proton therapy and is an important quantity for radiobiological modeling. However, LET calculations can, in principle, vary between Monte Carlo (MC) codes, affecting consistency in treatment planning and relative biological effectiveness (RBE ...

Clinical consequences of relative biological effectiveness variations in proton radiotherapy of the prostate, brain and liver [PDF]
, 2013 Proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is known to depend on the (alpha/beta)(x) of irradiated tissues, with evidence of similar to 60% variation over (alpha/beta)(x) values from 1-10 Gy.
