A new mathematical model for radiation cell killing mechanism: Target cumulating model

There are numerous mathematical or statistical models have been given out for radiation cell killing mechanism. Unfortunately, none of the model could explain the mechanism perfectly. The more advanced model for it is still necessary to be researched. Following common assumption, a new theoretical model named "target cumulating" model is induced from the molecular and particle physics level. The result of theoretical calculation gives the equation of cell survival rate corresponding to delivered dose and other sensitivity parameters. In addition to fit the cell survival curve well, the new model showed advantages with comparing to previous models. Also, the new model predicts or explains some phenomenon that had been observed in laboratory (e.g. dose rate effect and low dose hypersensitivity).
