Optimization of Beam Shaping Assembly design for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy based on a transportable proton accelerator

The optimization of a Beam Shaping Assembly design for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), based on a commercial available proton accelerator, has been simulated. The primary goal is to improve the flux of the epithermal neutrons, which is the major drawback in all designed BNCT facilities with po...
