Epithermal Neutron Beam Generator Design for Bnct
BNCT is a radiotherapy modality based on the neutron capture and fission reactions that occur when boron-10 is irradiated by thermal neutrons. This reaction generates alpha and lithium that produce high density of ionizations in close to the reaction site. The concept provides high absorbed doses into the cancerous cells preserving the adjacent healthy tissues. Nowadays, the available neutron s...
متن کاملDevelopment of epithermal neutron camera based on resonance-energy-filtered imaging with GEM
An epithermal neutron camera based on energy-filtered imaging with gas electron multipliers was developed. Epithermal neutron imaging is achievable without time-of-flight detection of neutrons by using a resonance filter and a thermal neutron absorber. This technique is applicable to compact accelerator-based neutron sources. Blurring of epithermal neutron images caused by neutron scattering in...
متن کاملAccelerator based epithermal neutron source for NCT
Nowadays neutron capture therapy looks very promising method of cancer treatment, especially for brain tumors by reason of selective damage cancer cells. Treatment effect of this method based on neutrons nuclear reaction with nuclides B, Gd. These nuclides have high cross-section of interaction with thermal neutrons. Unfortunately, thermal neutrons could enter only in near surface tissue and co...
متن کاملThe use of selected neutron absorption resonance filters to suppress spurious events on hot neutron spectrometers
Resonant absorption can be used as a filter for high energy neutron spectroscopy. Here we report the transmission of eight thin foil filters: erbium, indium, iridium, dysprosium, hafnium, gadolinium, cadmium and samarium, measured using neutron time-of-flight techniques over a range of energies (1 meV to 10 eV). Measured transmission is converted into energy-dependent absorption cross-section w...
متن کاملExperiments with a Slow Neutron Velocity Spectrometer
Neutron bursts were produced by modulation of the arc source of a small cyclotron. Neutrons subsequently slowed down in paraffin were detected by a BF3ionization chamber and linear amplifier. Modulation of an additional amplifier allowed the counting of all detected. neutrons as well as those arriving in a specified time interval. Time of flight experiments were carried out at 3.0 meters with "...
