“…The 13 C(d,n) 14 N is one of the most interesting deuteroninduced reactions at low incident energy due to the very good mechanical and thermal properties of carbon as target material. Moreover, this reaction presents a large cross section at E d ϭ1.5 MeV of about 0.4 barns.…”

“…Carbon has excellent mechanical and thermal properties ͑a melting point of 3550°C and thermal conductivity of 230 W/m°C͒, is very stable and target manufacture is relatively simple. The 13 C(d,n) 14 N nuclear reaction at E d ϭ1.5 MeV hence provides an interesting low-energy neutron source because, in addition, its total neutron yield places it in a competitive status with respect to other reactions.…”

The use of the 13C(d,n) 14N reaction at Ed=1.5 MeV for accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (AB-BNCT) is investigated. Among the deuteron-induced reactions at low incident energy, the 3C(d,n)14N reaction turns out to be one of the best for AB-BNCT because of beneficial materials properties inherent to carbon and its relatively large neutron production cross section. The deuteron beam was produced by a tandem accelerator at MIT's Laboratory for Accelerator Beam Applications (LABA) and the neutron beam shaping assembly included a heavy water moderator and a lead reflector. The resulting neutron spectrum was dosimetrically evaluated at different depths inside a water-filled brain phantom using the dual ionization chamber technique for fast neutrons and photons and bare and cadmium-covered gold foils for the thermal neutron flux. The RBE doses in tumor and healthy tissue were calculated from experimental data assuming a tumor 10B concentration of 40 ppm and a healthy tissue 10B concentration of 11.4 ppm (corresponding to a reported ratio of 3.5:1). All results were simulated using the code MCNP, a general Monte Carlo radiation transport code capable of simulating electron, photon, and neutron transport. Experimental and simulated results are presented at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cm depths along the brain phantom centerline. An advantage depth of 5.6 cm was obtained for a treatment time of 56 min assuming a 4 mA deuteron current and a maximum healthy tissue dose of 12.5 RBE Gy.

“…4. For comparison, the yields for the 7 Li(p,n) 7 Be and 9 Be( p,n) 9 7 Be reaction are also shown in the figure. The statistical errors are within the size of the symbols, while the uncertainty on the absolute yield determination, mainly associated with the normalization procedure and detector efficiency, has been estimated to be 30% ͑1 ).…”

“…Furthermore, Coulomb barrier considerations limit the target choice to light elements. Finally, the requirement of stable, mechanically, and thermally convenient materials restricts the number of potentially useful targets to essentially 6 Li, 9 Be, 10 B, 12 C, and 13 C. Among the different reactions, the 9 Be(d,n) 10 B and the 12 C(d,n) 13 N have recently been investigated 8 for their potential use in BNCT, although the energy and angular distributions of the emitted neutrons are not well determined. On the other hand, the 13 C(d,n) 14 N reaction has not yet been considered as a low-energy neutron source for BNCT, although Brune et al 9 reported on the large cross-section ͑XS͒ that characterizes this reaction, which could make it interesting for several applications that require intense neutron sources.…”

Measurements of low‐energy (d,n) reactions for BNCT

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.

Basic proteins in barley starchy endosperm from developing seeds were separated by two-dimensional (2-D) nonequilibrium pH gel electrophoresis. Total as well as partial extracts were analyzed. Edman degradation sequencing and immunological detection were performed after transfer of separated proteins onto membranes. Only one protein could be analyzed by N-terminal sequencing of blotted and separated proteins from the total extract. Fractionation of extracts was done using cation exchange chromatography, concanavalin A and heparin affinity chromatography. Internal sequences were determined after in-gel cleavage of proteins using trypsin or cyanogen bromide and separation of the fragments by reversed-phase chromatography or in a gel electrophoresis system for peptide separation. This resulted in a new protocol for obtaining internal sequences from proteins separated by 2-D electrophoresis. A total of 16 sequences, including nine internal sequences, were analyzed, permitting the identification of ten proteins, including five that appeared to have a blocked N-terminus. An additional protein was identified using immunological detection. Three protein sequences remained unidentified. Separated proteins were also analyzed with a glycan detection method.
