Abstract:Standard commercial L-alanine pellets and specially prepared natural lithium formate monohydrate powder samples of specific granulometry were irradiated in a 60 Co gamma-ray irradiation plant and in the mixed field (thermal neutrons and gamma photons) of a boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) experimental facility. The γ-doses applied with the 60 Co source range from 0.1 to 50 kGy, while those in the BNCT facility go from ~7 Gy to 150 Gy. The thermal neutron fluences range from 10 12 neutrons cm −2 to 2 10 13 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
