Abstract
THE discovery of intense proton fluxes in the Earth's magnetic fields and in solar flares has provoked considerable interest in the effects of proton irradiation of biological subjects. Because of the great number of low energy protons in space the effects on the skin are of particular interest, and laboratory methods have been sought which provide a proton flux such as might be encountered in space.
