Quality factors for protons and helium particles has determined for cell inactivation using linear energy transfer. The quality has also been investigated as a function for other physical parameters, such as mean free path and effective charge for protons and helium particles, for a better interpretation to the effectiveness of these charged particles in V79 cells. Explanation of quality is clearly illustrated in terms of the average dis-tance of energy deposition events in biological systems.
