The difference in the relative biological efficincy (RBE) of ions of same linear energy transfer (LET) but different atomic number (Z) can be attributed to the difference in the radial ionisation distribution. In this contribution we present data from measurements of the spatial ionisation pattern of heavy ions of various Z but similar LET and compare the results with track structure data obtained by Monte Carlo simulations. The measurements were made with a time projection chamber with optical readout (Optical Avalanche Chamber, OPAC) which is able to quantitatively capture the spatial ionisation pattern of an ion traversing the chamber
