Abstract:Background
An interesting isotope, sulfur-33 (a stable isotope), has been proposed as an additional neutron capture or a cooperating target for enhancing boron neutron capture therapy. Recently, 33S was considered as the substitute for boron-10 in neutron capture radiotherapy. The 33S (n, α)30Si reaction emits the α particles useful for neutron capture therapy. Based on the Monte Carlo method, we investigated the dosimetric characteristics of the cellular model of several geometries for the sulfur-33 neutron … Show more
