Influence of Mars Topography on Neutral Surface Radiation: Modeling and MSL/RAD Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Since landing in 2012, the Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) onboard the Mars science laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover has encountered different local landscapes, which have induced variations in the local surface environment. The aim of this study is to include realistic and site‐specific local topography for any position in a radiation ...

Tailoring of an epithermal neutron beam for the RFQ-based facility of INFN

, 2016
The Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) developed and realized a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) proton accelerator. This machine is of interest to BNCT for the delivery of 5 MeV protons with 30 mA current in a Continuous Wave (CW ...

MCNP study for epithermal neutron irradiation of an isolated liver at the Finnish BNCT facility

, 2004
A successful boron neutron capture treatment (BNCT) of a patient with multiple liver metastases has been first given in Italy, by placing the removed organ into the thermal neutron column of the Triga research reactor of the University of Pavia.

Epithermal neutron beams from the 7Li(p,n) reaction near the threshold for neutron capture therapy [PDF]

, 2015
Two applications for neutron capture therapy of epithermal neutron beams calculated from the 7Li(p,n) reaction are discussed. In particular, i) for a proton beam of 1920 keV of a 30 mA, a neutron beam of adequate features for BNCT is found at an angle ...

Development of a Time-Gated Epithermal Neutron Spectrometer for Resonance Absorption Measurements Driven by a High-Intensity Laser

Quantum Beam Science
The advance of laser-driven neutron sources (LDNSs) has enabled neutron resonance spectroscopy to be performed with a single shot of a laser. In this study, we describe a detection system of epithermal (∼eV) neutrons especially designed for neutron ...

dosimetry for epithermal neutron irradiation of the dog brain

, 2002
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental type of radiotherapy, presently being used to treat glioblastoma and melanoma. To improve patient safety and to determine the radiobiological characteristics of the epithermal neutron beam of ...
