Abstract
The Biostack Experiments investigate the biological effectiveness of the heavy ion component of cosmic rays. The close combination of biological objects between nuclear track detectors permit to assign biological damage observed in discrete objects to the passage of single heavy ions. The result from plants and animal tissue confirms the important role of this component especially with respect to radiation risk to men in space.
