Optimization of target, moderator, and collimator in the accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy system: A Monte Carlo study
The aim of this study was to optimize the target, moderator, and collimator (TMC) in a neutron beam generator for the accelerator-based BNCT (A-BNCT) system. The optimization employed the Monte Carlo Neutron and Photon (MCNP) simulation. The optimal geometry for the target was decided as the one wit...
