Optimization of the photoneutron target geometry for e-accelerator based BNCT

Background and aim: Today, electron accelerators are taken into consideration as photoneutron sources. Therefore, for maximum production of epithermal neutron flux, designing a photoneutron target is of significant importance. In this paper, the effect of thickness and geometric shape of a photone...
