Can anyone help me with this?

In the simple repair model of radiobiology, where X refers to the mean
number of lesions created in a cell, and D is the mean absorbed dose of
the cell, then: X=aD - C(1-e-gD) [ie e raised to the power of -gD],
where a,C, and g are constants for a given system (cell type, radiation
type, and dose rate).

Deduce the dimensions of a,C and g in any or all of M,L,T,Q (where Q
refers to charge, even though Q itself can be expressed in MLT terms)

I think the answer is that a and D are dimensionless and g is T/L. Am I
right?

Thanks
