Table 3.

Single- and double-strand break yields following aqueous plasmid irradiation with 100–200 MeV electrons at Conventional and FLASH dose rates, calculated using the McMahon32 fit.

Energy (MeV) VHEE Dose rate
Conventional (~ 0.5 Gy s−1) FLASH (> 108 Gy s−1)
SSB (Mbp−1 Gy−1) DSB(Mbp−1 Gy−1) SSB (Mbp−1 Gy−1) DSB (Mbp−1 Gy−1)
100 15.42 ± 0.86 0.35 ± 0.02 20.31 ± 1.20 0.37 ± 0.03
150 17.63 ± 0.57 0.35 ± 0.03 18.74 ± 0.52 0.37 ± 0.04
200 20.19 ± 0.56 0.38 ± 0.02 21.22 ± 0.38 0.38 ± 0.02

Standard error based on six agarose gel electrophoresis repeats for 200 MeV and five for 150 and 100 MeV.
