Design study of compact medical accelerator using superconducting rf quadrupole for boron neutron capture therapy

We investigated the feasibility on the application of a superconducting radio frequency (SRF) niobium cavity to an accelerator-based neutron source for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Neutron source is the key component of BNCT and adopting rf-linac based neutron source realizes a medical care...
