Abstract
The influence of different average and bunch dose rates in electron beams on the FLASH effect was investigated. The present study measures O<sub>2</sub> content in water at different beam pulse patterns and finds strong correlation with biological data, strengthening the hypothesis of radical-related mechanisms as a reason for the FLASH effect.
