Design of Beam Shaping Assemblies for Accelerator-Based BNCT With Multi-Terminals

To moderate fast neutrons produced by accelerator to appropriate therapeutic energies for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), beam shaping assembly (BSA) is required definitely. In this work, based on a model of 2.5 MeV/30 mA proton accelerator, the Monte Carlo simulation software MCNPX was employ...
