The paper discusses dynamics of charged particles and neutrons in boron neutron capture therapy system (BNCT) as well as geometrical and physical optimization of BNCT system elements. Our choice is BNCT system with linear accelerator. BNCT track includes ion injector, RFQ, DTL, neutron-producing target and neutron moderator which provides an exit (last collimator) flux of epithermal neutrons satisfied to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) requirements. The following software tools IBSimu, LIDOS, COMSOL Multiphysics and PHITS were used for modelling BNCT system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
