متن کاملEpithermal and Fast Neutron Radiography Using Photoluminescent Imaging Plates and Resonance and Threshold Activation Detectors
Epithermal and Fast Neutron Radiography (FNR) are complementary to the conventional radiography with high energy gamma-rays or brems-strahlung radiation and which iarecommonly used for the inspection of thick metal objects. The advantage of using high energy neutrons for radiographic examination of thick metal objects is their higher penetration power and improved contrast sensitivity. Rather l...
متن کاملOptimization of an accelerator-based epithermal neutron source for neutron capture therapy.
A modeling investigation was performed to choose moderator material and size for creating optimal epithermal neutron beams for BNCT based on a proton accelerator and the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction as a neutrons source. An optimal configuration is suggested for the beam shaping assembly made from polytetrafluoroethylene and magnesium fluorine to be placed on high current IPPE proton accelerator KG...
متن کاملEpithermal 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 کاملDetectors for Sensitive Detection: HyD
This article discusses detectors (more precisely: sensors), that are employed in single point, i.e. true confocal scanning microscopes. The sensors in such systems are usually photomultiplier tubes. Also, the silicon pendants of PMTs are used for particular applications, especially single-molecule measurements. A new development has led to chimeric devices called hybrid detector (HyD) which uni...
