英文摘要An enhanced cell-killing effect at the penetration depths around the Bragg peak of a P-delayed particle decay C-9-ion beam has been observed in our preceding radiobiological experiments in comparison with a therapeutic 12 C beam under the same conditions, and RBE values of the C-9 beam were revealed to be higher than those of the comparative 12 C beam by a factor of up to 2. This study is aimed at investigating the biophysical mechanisms underlying the important experimental phenomenon. First of all, a model for calculating the stopping probability density of the experimentally applied C-9 beam is worked out, where all determinants such as the initial momentum spread of the C-9 beam, the fluence attenuation with penetration depth due to the projectile-target nuclear reaction and the energy straggling effect are taken into account. On the basis of the calculated C-9-ion stopping distribution, it has been found that the area corresponding to the enhanced cell-killing effect of the C-9 beam appears at the stopping region of the incident C-9 ions. The stopping C-9-ion density in depth, then, is derived from the calculated probability density. Moreover, taking entrance dose 1 Gy for the C-9 beam as an example, the average stopping C-9-ion numbers per cell at various depths are deduced. Meanwhile, the mean lethal damage events induced by the C-9 and comparative C-12 beams at the depths with almost equal dose-averaged LETs are derived from the measured cell surviving fractions at these depths for the C-9 and C-12 beams. Under the condition of the same absorbed doses, there are indeed good agreements between the average stopping C-9-ion number pre cell and the difference of the mean lethal damage events between the C-9 and C-12 beams at the depths of similar dose-averaged LETs. It can be inferred that if a C-9 ion comes to rest in a cell, the cell would undergo dying. In view of the decay property of 9C nuclide, clustered damage would be caused in the cell by the emitted low-energy particles. Therefore, the results achieved in this work can be taken as indirect evidence supporting that damage cluster is more efficient in leading to cell lethality.
