BNCT(Boron Neutron Capture Therapy)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for academic resources related to the design and modeling of beam tubes for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) applications in nuclear reactors. Participants recommend utilizing databases like Web of Knowledge (WOK) to find relevant literature. Several specific journals are suggested, including Applied Radiation and Isotopes, Health Physics, and Progress in Nuclear Energy. An article cited 311 times from WOK is also shared as a valuable resource. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accessing scholarly databases for research on BNCT.

My research is about Design and modeling of beam tube of nuclear reactor for BNCT(Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) application and I need some journals and related books about it.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
thanks a lot for ur suggestion .could u please tell me some journals about it.
 
Oh.thanks.I've found every things in ur suggested article.

Are you a student, if so I think you should learn how to find literature about BNCT in databases e.g. Web of Knowledge(WOK). I find many journals about it using BNCT and reactor as topic in WOK. I list some journals as below:APPLIED RADIATION AND ISOTOPES, HEALTH PHYSICS PROGRESS IN NUCLEAR ENERGY ANNALS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY JOURNAL OF RADIOANALYTICAL AND NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY and so on. Attachment is the article downloaded from WOK. It has been cited by 311 times. I hope this can help you.

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
