Review of Scientific Instruments, 1949
A simple fast neutron detector suitable for health physics applications has been constructed using two 931A photo-multiplier tubes in coincidence to reduce background. A ``sandwich'' made of Lucite and activated zinc sulfide is used to produce the scintillations.

This paper summarizes the recent work on fast neutron dosimetry done by the Health Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Neutrons do not ionize directly, but by various reactions with tissue they produce particles which do ionize. In the case of fast neutrons the important reactions are the elastic collisions with hydrogen, carbon ...

2009 23rd IEEE/NPSS Symposium on Fusion Engineering, 2009
As a part of the FAST (Fusion Advanced Studies Torus) project a neutronic analysis has been performed aimed to design optimization and radiological safety assessment. The neutron emissivity source foreseen for various FAST scenarios has been calculated and used as input for Monte Carlo calculations.

Fast Neutron Radiation Therapy
Annual Review of Biophysics and Bioengineering, 1982Cancer therapy continues to advance on two fronts concerned respec tively with ablation of local and regional disease by surgery or radiation and control of distant spread or dissemination by immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Local control of nonresectable cancer by irradiation fre quently fails (in about one-third of patients referred) owing to a ...

Medical Physics, 2005
An investigation of the therapeutic potential of boron neutron capture (BNC) enhancement of fast neutron therapy utilizing the Harper University Hospital superconducting cyclotron‐produced fast neutron therapy beam is presented. A technique for modification of the fast neutron beam to increase the BNC enhancement is presented along with an evaluation ...

Fast neutron radiation therapy
Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 1992Fast neutron radiation therapy was first used as a cancer treatment tool by Robert Stone at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in 1938 [l]. Using the Berkeley cyclotron, Dr. Stone treated a series of patients with advanced malignancies in various locations to high doses.

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1963
Abstract A fast neutron spectrometer consisting of a wide suitably shaped converter sheet and a silicon junction detector is described. Efficiency and resolving power are calculated and experimentally checked using mylar and polyethylene radiators. Screening of the detector against direct neutrons yields a good signal to noise ratio.
