“…2͑b͒, is characterized by a minimum at 0°, and by an increase for angles greater than 90°, a behavior consistent with previously reported measurements at slightly lower incident energy. 14,15 Although it may be possible to setup a neutron beam line at angles different from the primary beam direction ͑which might lead to other advantages, such as multiple treatment rooms, or a symmetric dose monitoring room͒, the yield at all angles for this reaction seems too small for any practical application in BNCT. Preliminary estimates indicate that an epithermal neutron beam of the necessary intensity could only be obtained at this beam energy with a deuteron beam current of several hundred mA.…”

Neutron yields and energy spectra have been measured for various deuteron-induced reactions at low energy. Neutrons of energy > 100 keV emitted in the 9Be(d,n)10B, 12C(d,n)13N, and 13C(d,n)14N reactions at Ed= 1.5 MeV were detected at five angles by means of liquid scintillator detectors. While low-energy neutrons were observed in all studied reactions, only 13C(d,n)14N is characterized by a relatively large yield with spectral features potentially interesting for an accelerator-based neutron source for BNCT.
