Abstract
A systemic model describing the major radiobiological effects of vario us types of radiation is proposed. The model base lines were substanti ated, and general mathematical equations for cell survival developed. The model takes into consideration such physical and biological factor s as linear energy transfer, ion track structure, and structural and f unctional organization of interphase chromatin. This paper presents th e basic assumptions made and general equations for the cell killing.
