Description
Summary:The results are presented of calculations of the absorbed dose distribution produced in a tissue-equivalent phantom by a neutron source based on the reaction super(7)Li(p, n) super(7)Be near threshold. The investigation was conducted to study the possibility of using the KG-2,5 accelerator at the Physics and Power-Engineering Institute to treat cancer patients by boron-neutron-capture therapy.
