High-Yield D-T Neutron Generator
A high-yield D-T neutron generator has been developed for neutron interrogation in homeland security applications such as cargo screening. The generator has been designed as a sealed tube with a performance goal of producing 5·10 n/s over a long lifetime. The key generator components developed are a radio-frequency (RF) driven ion source and a beamloaded neutron production target that can handl...
متن کاملOptimised BNCT facility based on a compact D-D neutron generator
Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. Thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. Materials and Me...
متن کاملA D-D/D-T Fusion Reaction Based Neutron Generator System for Liver Tumor BNCT
Boron-neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental radiation treatment modality used for highly malignant tumor treatments. Prior to irradiation with low energetic neutrons, a B compound is located selectively in the tumor cells. The effect of the treatment is based on the high LET radiation released in the B(n,α)Li reaction with thermal neutrons. BNCT has been used experimentally for brai...
متن کاملSimulation of a Neutron Detector for Real Time Imaging Applications
Monte Carlo Method is used to simulate a double layer gadolinium-amorphous silicon thermal neutron detector. The detector fabricated in pixel array configuration has various applications including neutron imaging. According to the simulation results, a detector consisting of a gadolinium (Gd) film with thickness of 2-4 ~m, sandwiched properly with two layers of sufficiently thick (-30 ?µm) hydr...
