One important issue in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy is the delivered dose to tissues outside tumor. An international standard for light ion beam systems sets two recommended limits out-of-field based on distance from field edge: maximum absorbed all radiation types shall not exceed 0.5 % of at distances 15 cm 50 edge. At >50 edge, 0.1 %. This paper a continuation our previous works focused design an accelerator-based neutron source BNCT. We already designed novel Beam Shape Assembly which...
Abstract A few years ago, we theoretically studied the production of a stellar neutron spectrum at kT = 30 keV using shaped proton beam impinging on thick lithium target. Here, first measure distribution to better control produced spectrum. Then, forward-emitted angle-integrated 7 Li(p,n) Be reaction via time-of-flight spectrometry with such distribution. The result resembles keV. This method avoids in activation experiments need for correction. In case spherical samples, no knowledge...
