Neutron flux evaluation model provided in the accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy system employing a solid-state lithium target

Abstract An accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) system employing a solid-state Li target can achieve sufficient neutron flux for treatment although the neutron flux is reduced over the lifetime of its target. In this study, the reduction was examined in the five targets, and a mod...
