Investigation of neutron beams for the realization of boron neutron capture therapy
Description
Results of the initial theoretical and experimental work performed at the Institute of Nuclear Technics of the Budapest Technical University (BTU NTI) regarding the design of a pure thermal neutron field for neutron capture therapy experiments are reported. Calculations show that a thermal neutron flux of approximately 109 neutrons cm-2s-1 will be generated using a filter made of graphite and bismuth
