The possibility exists of destroying neoplastic cells in vivo by introducing a suitable neutron-capturing isotope such as 10B and subsequently irradiating the area with a beam of thermal neutrons (energy < 0·5eV). An advantage can be gained by using epithermal neutrons (energy 10 KeV to 0·5eV), since they provide deeper penetration in tissue than do ...

A state-of-the-art epithermal neutron irradiation facility for neutron capture therapy
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2004At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) the first fission converter-based epithermal neutron beam (FCB) has proven suitable for use in clinical trials of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The modern facility provides a high intensity beam together with low levels of contamination that is ideally suited for use with future, more selective

Evaluation of an iron‐filtered epithermal neutron beam for neutron‐capture therapy
Medical Physics, 1991An epithermal neutron filter using iron, aluminum, and sulfur was evaluated to determine if the therapeutic performance could be improved with respect to aluminum–sulfur‐based filters. An empirically optimized filter was developed that delivered a 93% pure beam of 24‐keV epithermal neutrons. It was expected that a thick filter using iron with a density

Development of resonant detectors for epithermal neutron spectroscopy at pulsed neutron sources
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004New perspectives for epithermal neutron spectroscopy are opened by the development of new detectors for inverse Geometry time of flight spectrometers at pulsed neutron sources. One example is the Very Low Angle Detector (VLAD) bank planned to be delivered, within the next 4 years, within the eVERDI project, on the neutron spectrometer VESUVIO.

The Sidewall Epithermal Neutron Porosity Log
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1966Abstract A sidewall epithermal neutron tool has been developed to substantially reduce environmental effects that have previously complicated neutron log interpretation. Designed for operation in uncased wells, the device provides increased accuracy in both liquid-filled and empty holes.

Thick beryllium target as an epithermal neutron source for neutron capture therapy
Medical Physics, 1994Accelerator‐based intense epithermal neutron sources for Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) have been considered as an alternative to nuclear reactors. Lithium (Li) has generally received the widest attention for this application, since the threshold energy is low and neutron yield is high.
