20 *PMB55, 4273 (201 0) α = Biologically Oriented Scoring in FLUKA* For each energy deposition i, FLUKA interpolates from the external database provided by the user the α D,i and β D,i parameters for the specific ion with a certain charge at a certain energy. Then FLUKA sums up properly the mixed radiation effect applying the Kellerer and Rossi theory of dual radiation action: α D, id i β D, i Di Then the average biological parameters can be calculated at the end of the FLUKA run: 2 α D, i D i β D, i D i and D = Di D For example the cell survival can be calculated: S = β = with D exp( α D 29/5/13 MCNEG13, Alfredo Ferrari 20 β D 2 )

21 Example of database for bio scoring The user can provide α D and β D for low LET reference radiation and for the components of the mixed radiation field. The database should be provided by the users based on experimental data or on radiological models. 29/5/13 MCNEG13, Alfredo Ferrari 21
