Radiological experiments with cell cultures are expected to be performed on Lifesat to study possible gravitational dependence on cellular response. Predictions of cell damage rates for well-studied systems are expected to help guide in the selection of orbits and the design of experiments. In this report we estimate the fractions of cell death and neoplastic transformation of C3H10T1/2 cells (cultured mouse cells) for the proposed Lifesat orbits. The parametric cellular track model of Katz et al. (refs. 1 and 2) is employed using cellular response parameters derived from the experiments of Yang et al. (refs. 3 and 4). The contributions …
Radiosensitivity Parameters For Cell Survival In Tradescantia And For Chromosome Aberrations In Chinese Hamster Cells, Robert Katz, G. Huang
Radiosensitivity Parameters For Cell Survival In Tradescantia And For Chromosome Aberrations In Chinese Hamster Cells, Robert Katz, G. Huang

Data for the loss of reproductive integrity of Tradescantia stamen hairs irradiated with 250 keV X rays and 0.43 and 5.6 MeV neutrons are fitted with radiosensitivity parameters from track theory, with E0 and m from X-ray data while σ0 and κ are then found from neutron irradiations. The X-ray data display a clear shoulder with 100% survival below 0.18 Gy and a “linear tail.” Data for abnormal metaphases and chromatid exchanges in Chinese Hamster cells have also been fitted with parameters. Parameters for abnormal metaphases are nearly identical with those obtained years ago for cell killing from …

An earlier representation of the radial distribution of dose about the path of a heavy ion in liquid water is modified and extended to include silicon, lithium fluoride, sodium iodide, and silicon dioxide.
Cross Section, Robert Katz
Cross Section, Robert Katz
Robert Katz Publications
In radiobiology the term cross section is used in ways that depart from its original physical meaning. Some of these conceptual extensions represent significant distortions of the original concept. These distortions lead to the misinterpretation of experimental findings.
