Beam Shaping Assembly Optimization for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Facility based on Cyclotron 30 MeV as Neutron Source

A design of beam shaping assembly (BSA) installed on cyclotron 30 MeV model neutron source for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been optimized using simulator software of Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended (MCNPX). The Beryllium target with thickness of 0.55 cm is simulated to be bombarded with...
