The best regression model of this relation is given as the following: (5)
(E) C1E C2E 2 C3E3 C4 ,
where C1 6.55103 , C2 3.47 106 , C3 5.96 1010 , C4 6.58 and r2= 1.
Figure 2 indicates the relationship between and energy E for helium particles. It is noted that there is an
inverse non-linear relation between these parameters. The inactivation rate decreased with the energy of helium
particles.
This relation can be demonstrated mathematically as follow:
( E ) C 20 E C 21 E 2 C 22 E 3 C 23 , (6)
where C20 1.59 103 , C21 1.68107 , C22 5.97 1012 , C23 5.86 and r2= 1.

The relationship between Linear Energy Transfer LET for deuterons and inactivation rate is plotted in Figure
3. The inactivation rate increases gradually with LET and reached the maximum value of inactivation rate at
41 keV/ m. The predicted movement of LET against should be decreased. This well half bell-shape response
is not established before for this particle. This distinctive response can be presented mathematically as follow:
(LET ) C5LET C6LET 2 C7LET 3 C8 , (7)

Figure 4 indicates the relationship between the inactivation rate of V79 cells and the Linear Energy Transfer
LET of helium particles. As similar of Figure 3, the inactivation rate of V79 cells increases linearly with
increasing of energy deposition rate LET up to the maximum at 59 keV/ m. This shape of correlation can be
modelled as follows:
(LET ) C24LET C25LET 2 C26 , (8)

For both particles, the inactivation rate increases dramatically as the restricted ionization density increases.
The maximum inactivation rates of deuterons and helium-3 particles occur at 23.14 keV/ m and 32.26 keV/ m
respectively. These responses are also described mathematically as follow:
For deuterons, the model is given as follows: (9)
(LET100 ) C9LET100 C10LET1002 C11LET1003 C12 ,
where C9 0.30 , C10 5.68 103 , C11 2.63105 , C12 0.85 and r2= 1.

For helium-3, the model is given as follows: (10)
(LET100 ) C27LET100 C28LET1002 C29 ,
where C27 0.03 , C28 1.02 103 , C29 0.88 and r2= 1.
Figure 7 shows the relation between the inactivation rate and the linear primary ionization I for deuterons.
As the linear ionization increases, the inactivation rate increases as well. The maximum value of linear
ionization occurs at 0.24 nm-1.

Figure 7. The relationship between inactivation rate and linear primary ionization for

This relationship can be described mathematically as follows: (11)
(I ) C13I C14I 2 C15I 3 C16 ,
where C13 10.83 , C14 7.64 , C15 1.84 , C16 4.61 and r2= 1.
Relationship between inactivation rate and linear primary ionization I for helium-3 particles is shown in
Figure 8. The inactivation rate rises gradually with increasing linear ionization of helium-3 particles. The
maximum value of inactivation rate comes out at 0.9 Gy-1 when linear ionization is equal to 0.25 nm-1. The
mechanism of inactivation of V79 can be interpreted obviously in terms of this distinctive parameter. By
comparing the responses in Figure 7 with Figure 8, it can be noted that the deuterons are more capable in
producing the inactivation of V79 cells than helium-3 particles. In contrast, the helium-3 particles yield the
highest inactivation at lower energy deposition events.

The best fitting model which describes this relationship is given as follows: (12)
(I ) C30I C31I 2 C32 ,
where C30 1.40 , C31 10.21 , C32 0.64 and r2= 1.
Figure 9 illustrates the relationship between the inactivation rate of V79 cells and the mean free path for
deuterons. The inactivation rate starts decrease sharply as the mean free path increases holding the minimum,
later the inactivation rate increases as the mean free path increases. The relation can be fitted accurately
applying the following model:
() C17 C182 C19 , (13)
where C17 0.19 , C18 2.57 , C19 3.53 and r2= 1.
Finally, the relationship between inactivation rate of V79 cells and the mean free path for heluim-3 particles is
represented in Figure 10. At the beginning, the inactivation rate decrease rapidly as the mean free path
increases, subsequently the inactivation slightly decreases as the mean free path increases, beyond the
inactivation rate decreases dramatically as the mean free path of helium-3 particles rises. Mathematically this
relation is modelled according to the following expression:
( ) C30 C312 C323 C33 , (14)
where C30 3.54 , C31 0.63 , C32 0.04 , C33 7.43 and r2= 1.

Representing inactivation rate of V79 cells in terms of the physical quality parameters which characterize both
deuterons and heluim-3 particles allows extensive investigation of the involved mechanism of inactivation effect
yielded by these charged particles at low doses where the radiation effects at this region is not absolutely
predictable in terms of the convention quantity the absorbed dose, that is often used as a universal physical
measure of biological effects of ionizing radiation at higher doses.
