What is Understanding Linear Energy Transfer (LET) about?

Linear energy transfer (LET) is a measure of the average energy deposited along the path of an ionizing particle, measured in keV/μm. High LET radiation between 3-200 keV/μm, such as alpha particles, protons, and neutrons, deposits a large amount of energy over a short distance. Low LET radiation below 3 keV/μm, like electrons, gamma rays, and x-rays, deposits less energy over a longer track. High LET radiation is more effective at killing tumor cells while minimizing dose to normal tissues to avoid toxicit
