Development of a Tandem-Electrostatic-Quadrupole facility for Accelerator-Based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Near threshold 7Li(p,n) 7Be reaction as neutron source for BNCT

“…This contribution can be reduced by the correct choice of the target thickness. This work has been carried out in the framework of the development of an accelerator devoted to BNCT within our group (Kreiner et al, 2011).…”

Development of a dual phantom technique for measuring the fast neutron component of dose in boron neutron capture therapy

“…Research and development into several types of accelerator-based irradiation systems is underway. [5][6][7][8] In the near future, BNCT using these newly developed irradiation systems may be carried out at multiple facilities across the world. 9 It is important that the physical and biological estimations for dose quantity and quality are performed consistently among several irradiation fields, and that the equivalency of BNCT is guaranteed, within and across BNCT systems.…”

Present status of Accelerator-Based BNCT

“…[27][28][29] As an intermediate step, a smaller machine, a folded TESQ with a terminal at 700 kV is also being developed to be used with the Be(d,n) reaction. 8 …”

“…This kind of machine is envisaged as an intermediate step in a project under development. 8 In addition, the 16 To complete the discussion of the reactions shown in Table 3 we have to consider carbon as a target, which has excellent thermomechanical properties: a melting point of 3550 K and a thermal conductivity of 230 W m −1 K −1 . It is a very stable material and the construction of a target is relatively simple.…”
