Prompt gamma ray diagnostics and enhanced hadron-therapy using neutron-free nuclear reactions
We propose a series of simulations about the potential use of Boron isotopes to trigger neutron-free (aneutronic) nuclear reactions in cancer cells through the interaction with an incoming energetic proton beam, thus resulting in the emission of characteristic prompt gamma radiation (429 keV, 718 ke...
