Installation and testing of an optimized epithermal neutron beam at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor (BMRR) [PDF]

, 1989
Various calculations indicate that an optimized epithermal neutron beam can be produced by moderating fission neutrons either with a combination of Al and D{sub 2}O, or with Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}.

Maxwell Spectrum as a Parameter to Verify the Dose in Brain Cancer (Glioblastoma) by Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) using Monte Carlo Method

Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences
To evaluate the efficiency of neutron capture therapy (BNCT) treatment in glioblastoma multiforme, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of the neutron beam on the tumor cell and find better results so that BNCT treatment is viable.

Isotopic variations of Sm, Gd, Er and Yb found in planetary materials caused by neutron-capture reactions in nature

Journal of Analytical Science and Technology
The isotopic shifts of 149Sm–150Sm and 157Gd–158Gd have often been observed in meteorites and lunar surface materials, because they result from the neutron-capture reactions associated with secondary neutrons produced by cosmic-ray irradiation. While the

Optimization of DD-110 Neutron Generator Output for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Using Monte Carlo Simulation

Quantum Beam Science
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a specialized cancer treatment that leverages the high absorption cross-section of boron for thermal neutrons. When boron captures neutrons, it undergoes a nuclear reaction that produces alpha particles and lithium

Upgrades of the epithermal neutron beam at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor [PDF]

, 1994
The first epithermal neutron beam at the Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor (BMRR) was installed in 1988 and produced a neutron beam that was satisfactory for the development of NCT with epithermal neutrons.
