Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a next-generation radiotherapy that combines
neutron beams with boron compounds that selectively accumulate in cancer cells. Because …

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cellular-level hadron therapy achieving
therapeutic effects via the synergistic action of multiple particles, including Lithium, alpha …

Abstract The MUNES project (MUltidisciplinary NEutron Source) aims at the realization of an
intense accelerator-based source of thermal neutrons, suitable for Boron Neutron Capture …

Polymer gels have been reported as a new, potential tool for dosimetry in mixed neutron–
gamma radiation fields. In this work, BANG-3 (MGS Research Inc.) gel vials from three …

Modern radiotherapy is usually delivered using linear accelerators producing X-rays with
energies of 4–25 MV which have generally superseded therapy with lower energy 60Co or …

This study investigates the influence of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf width on intensity
modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans delivered via the segmented multileaf collimator …

We present design of a new microdosimetry detector based on thick gas electron multiplier
(THGEM). A prototype detector was designed for a cylindrical sensitive volume with 5 mm …

Featured Application Application of microdosimetric techniques to characterize the mixed
radiation field in boron neutron capture therapy. Abstract This paper explores the role of …

Microdosimetric techniques are a valuable tool for beam quality monitoring in BNCT, due to
their capability to distinguish different contributions to the total dose and provide physics …
