Abstract
The high temperature ratio (HTR) method using LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent d osemeters allows in addition to the measurement of absorbed dose, the evalu ation of the biological effectiveness of radiation. In order to analyse the correlation of the measured parameter HTR and gentoxic endpoints irradiati on of cell cultures and TLDs were performed in a 62 MeV proton beam. The ge ntoxic effects respectively the relative biological effectiveness RBE, show an excellent correlation with the HTR due to a similar dose and LET-depend ent behaviour.
