Investigating the Relative Biological Effectiveness of a Hydrogen Plasma Beam on Breast Cancer Cells

Top View Front View To develop a method for the irradiation of breast cancer cells with a 3 MeV proton beam produced by a NEC 5SDH Tandem Pelletron Accelerator. Which will; • Allow for the cells to remain in atmosphere during irradiation • Utilize the unique energy deposition characteristics of a proton beam in cell cultures • Allow for a range of radiation exposure times in an attempt to find an optimal dose.
