Neutron spectra at different positions in a phantom have been derived from activation foil and fission counter measurements for the collimated beam of the Amsterdam d+T fast-neutron therapy facility. ...
A modified neutron production target assembly has been developed to provide improved performance of the proton-cyclotron-based neutron radiotherapy facility at the University of Washington for applica...
Abstract
Two small neutron sources of 252Cf and 241Am-Be radioisotopes were used for design of neutron beams applicable to low-intensity neutron and gamma-ray radioscopy (LINGR). In the design, Monte...
252Cf is a neutron emitting radioisotope which has promise for both standard brachytherapy and neutron capture enhanced brachytherapy. In this study, experimental measurements and calculations were us...
Despite the fact that fast neutron irradiation of glioblastoma has shown on autopsies an ability to sterilize tumors, no therapeutic windows have been found for these particles due to their toxicity t...
The development of new neutron sources for BNCT applications, based on particle accelerators is currently underway all over the world. Though nuclear reactors were used for a long time as the only neu...
An investigation of the therapeutic potential of boron neutron capture (BNC) enhancement of fast neutron therapy utilizing the Harper University Hospital superconducting cyclotron-produced d(48.5)+Be ...
An accurately calibrated relativistic parametrization is introduced to compute the ground state properties of finite nuclei, their linear response, and the structure of neutron stars. While similar in...
