Beam shaping assembly of a D–T neutron source for BNCT and its dosimetry simulation in deeply-seated tumor
چکیده انگلیسی

This article involves two aims for BNCT. First case includes a beam shaping assembly estimation for a D–T neutron source to find epi-thermal neutrons which are the goal in the BNCT. Second issue is the percent depth dose calculation in the adult Snyder head phantom. Monte-Carlo simulations and verification of a suggested beam shaping assembly (including internal neutron multiplier, moderator, filter, external neutron multiplier, collimator, and reflector dimensions) for thermalizing a D–T neutron source as well as increasing neutron flux are carried out and our results are given herein. Finally, we have simulated its corresponding doses for treatment planning of a deeply-seated tumor.


► An assembly for the D–T neutron source including many regions is given herein.
► Dosimetry simulations in the Snyder head phantom for a deeply-seated tumor are carried out.
► Brief literatures conclusions on the recent BNCT studies are presented herein.
