A lithium fluoride (LiF)-silicon (Si)-based neutron detector was developed for real-time measurement of beams boron capture therapy (BNCT). Detection efficiencies thermal neutrons were measured at the national standard field in Japan and simulated using a Monte Carlo simulation code to evaluate absolute BNCT fluence rates. The detection agreed excellently with experimental results, within an error 3%. results reproduced well peaks tritons alpha particles emitted from 6Li(n,t)4He reaction,...
The neutron source for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is in the transition stage from nuclear reactor to accelerator based source. Generation of low energy can be achieved by 7Li (p, n) 7Be reaction using Development small-scale and safe within reach. melting point lithium that used target low, durability questioned an extended use at a high current proton beam. In order test its durability, we have irradiated with beam same level as actual density, found no deterioration after 3 hours...
Neutron response functions of a silicon sensor, which is applied to new real-time personal albedo neutron dosemeter, have been simulated for low energy neutrons from 0.01 eV 10 keV using the Monte Carlo technique. The angular were obtained by multiplying spectra crossing sensor and cross-section 6Li(n,t)4He reaction. closed dose conversion coefficient doses, Hp(10) recommended International Commission on Radiological Protection selecting incident angles 105° 180° with respect an axis...
