The numbers of neutrons and protons produced in the reactions 10B(±n)13N and 10B(±p)13C at 1·51 mev bombarding energy have been compared and the ratio of the reduced widths, n2/p2, found to be 5·7±0·5. Between 1·4 and 2·4 mev bombarding energy, the emission of protons ...
Hiroaki Kumada, in Advances in Accelerators and Medical Physics, 2023 24.2.1.1 Boron dose For dose estimation in BNCT, the most important dose component is understandably the “boron dose,” which originates from the reaction between boron-10 and neutrons. The intensity of the dose depends on ...
It is one of the lightest elements as it has only five electrons, and the nucleus is composed of a total of six neutrons and five protons. It has three electrons that used to be present in the valence shells and took part in the formation of covalent bonds, resulting in many compounds ...
Protontherapy is hadrontherapy’s fastest-growing modality and a pillar in the battle against cancer. Hadrontherapy’s superiority lies in its inverted depth-dose profile, hence tumour-confined irradiation. Protons, however, lack distinct radiobiological advantages over photons or electrons. Higher LET ...
摘要: Using a Wilson cloud chamber in a magnetic field of 1000 gauss we have studied the spectrum of recoil electrons produced by the gamma-rays from boron bombarded with deutons, and have found it to consist of components of at least five different energies....

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is based on a lethal 10B(n,α)7Li capture reaction that occurs when 10B is irradiated with low-energy thermal neutrons to produce high energy α-particles and 7Li nuclei. From: Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2008 ...
11 Boron neutron capture therapy is a binary system used for the treatment of cancer, which involves administration of a boron compound and subsequent irradiation with slow neutrons. From: Comprehensive Glycoscience, 2007 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with 10B combined with a scintillation gas can serve as the basis for detecting thermal neutrons by detecting light from the decay products of the th
