Fusion neutron detector calibration using a table-top laser generated plasma neutron source
Using a high intensity, femtosecond laser driven neutron source, a high-sensitivity neutron detector was calibrated. This detector is designed for observing fusion neutrons at the Z accelerator in Sandia National Laboratories. Nuclear fusion from laser driven deuterium cluster explosions was used to generate a clean source of nearly monoenergetic 2.45MeV neutrons at a well-defined time. This so...
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 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 کاملMeV Neutron Generator – Literature Review
A 14 MeV neutron generator described in this paper.Neutrons are produced in D-T, D-D,T-T reactions. The production of 14 MeV neutrons from DD neutrons generator resulting from tritium build up from d(d,p)t reaction in the target under 30mA, 300 KeV deuteron beam, bombarding a water-cooled, rotating target, size of beam spot on target is 1.8 cm is obtained. An estimate of the capital cost 14 MeV...
متن کاملOptimization study for BNCT facility based on a DT neutron generator
Background: A Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) facility, based on a DT neutron generator, with the final goal to find out a potential, alternative, solution to existing BNCT treatment facilities which are based on nuclear reactors is examined. Materials and Methods: With the aim of the MCNP4B Monte Carlo code different beam-shaping assembly (BSA) configurations were considered. Lead was sel...
