Abstract

The radiation linear energy transfer (LET), which is the energy released by ionizing radiation per path unit, arouses great scientific interest because the biological damage produced by ionizing radiation in tissues is strictly related to LET. Radiation beams with different LETs will cause different spatial energy distribution and therefore different effects inside matter.
