Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Clinical Application and Research Progress
Current Oncology, 2022 Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary modality that is used to treat a variety of malignancies, using neutrons to irradiate boron-10 (10B) nuclei that have entered tumor cells to produce highly linear energy transfer (LET) alpha particles and ...

Tolerance Flux of Thermal Neutrons [PDF]
Nature, 1949 THE danger of neutrons on the human body arises from two factors : the slowing down of fast neutrons and the absorption of neutrons. In the case of thermal neutrons, only absorption can take place, either in hydrogen to form a deuteron with emission of a 2.2-MeV. γ-ray, or by nitrogen-14 to form a carbon, with the emission of a 0.7-MeV. proton.

Microscopic description of neutron emission rates in compound nuclei
, 2014 The neutron emission rates in thermal excited nuclei are conventionally described by statistical models with a phenomenological level density parameter that depends on excitation energies, deformations and mass regions.

Thermonuclear Burning on the Accreting X-Ray Pulsar GRO J1744-28 [PDF]
, 1996 We investigate the thermal stability of nuclear burning on the accreting X-ray pulsar GRO J1744-28. The neutron star's dipolar magnetic field is 50 years.

Thermally Driven Neutron Star Glitches [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 We examine the thermal and dynamical response of a neutron star to a sudden perturbation of the inner crust temperature. During the star's evolution, starquakes and other processes may deposit $\gap 10^{42}$ ergs, causing significant internal heating and increased frictional coupling between the crust and the more rapidly rotating neutron superfluid ...

Neutron spectroscopy with the Spherical Proportional Counter
, 2017 A novel large volume spherical proportional counter, recently developed, is used for neutron measurements. Gas mixtures of $N_{2}$ with $C_{2}H_{6}$ and pure $N_{2}$ are studied for thermal and fast neutron detection, providing a new way for the neutron ...
