Set repair rate (LAM=)
CLRP: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:
    CLRP: LAM={DSB repair constant (h-1)}
Example:
    CLRP: LAM=0.3466      !(LPL or RMR model). Equivalent to a 2 h repair half time.
    CLRP: LAM=XXX          !(TLK model)

   !Data array used to specify TLK model inputs
    XXX = 2.7726 7.702E-02 /       !Simple DSBs are repaired faster than complex DSBs


Purpose: Set the expected number of repair attempts per unit time (i.e., the DSB rejoining rate)
Data Type:
real number
Unit:
(h-1)
Default: 0.34657359 [=LOG(2)/2.0]
Comments: For an alternate method of specifying the DSB repair rate, see RHT=LOG(2)/LAM. The minimum and maximum repair rate is approximately 0.035 h
-1 and 21 h-1.  Typical repair rates are on the order of 0.15 h-1 to 2.77 h-1.  Damage repair rates vary widely among cell lines and cell types.
