Performance evaluation of a < sup > 71 < /sup > Ga(n, γ) < sup > 72 < /sup > Ga reaction-based epithermal neutron flux detector at an AB-BNCT device

In this study, a spherical epithermal neutron flux detector using 71Ga(n,γ)72Ga reaction was prototyped. The performance of the detector was experimentally evaluated at an accelerator-based BNCT (AB-BNCT) device developed by Lanzhou University, China. Based on the experimental results and related analysis, we demonstrated that the detector is a reliable tool for the quality assurance of BNCT treatment beams.PMID:38428203 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111249
