AbstractAbstract
[en] A very important task now is to measure a real absorbed dose for Gadolinium Neutron Capture Therapy. A method for direct measurement of Gd reaction dose was offered and worked through in the study. A chemical dosimeter for measurement of absorbed dose from neutron capture Gd(n,y) reaction products - gamma-radiation, internal conversion electrons, and Auger electrons, that are very essential for neutron capture therapy, is described in the paper. Auger electrons are of interest, since their dose measurement or direct registration is a very involved problem due their low mean energy - less then 10 keV. Substances with gadolinium of Gd(NO3)3.?6H2O and GdCl3.?6H2O, and two different dosimeters - FBX and Fricke were investigated. The absorbed dose measurements were carried out with the Fricke dosimeter for different gadolinium concentrations in the solution; thus, this simulated probable treatment condition for thermal and fast neutron beams. The experimental results were compared with calculations made using the MCNP Monte Carlo code. (authors)
