THE KINETICS OF RECUPERATION FOLLOWING 55 MEV PROTON IRRADIATION

Abstract

The kinetics of recuperation following initial doses of 470 rads of 55 Mev protons and 350 rads of Co60 gamma radiation were investigated by means of the paired-dose method. By using semilog plots, recovery half-times of 4.85 plus or minus .85 days and 2.02 plus or minus .45 days were found after initial doses of the protons and Co60 gamma radiation, respectively.
