Detection and discrimination of neutron capture events for NCEPT dose quantification

Detection and discrimination of neutron capture events for NCEPT dose quantification

Abstract Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT) boosts the effectiveness of particle therapy by capturing thermal neutrons produced by beam-target nuclear interactions in and around the treatment site, using tumour-specific $$^{10}$$ 10 B or $$^{157}$$ 157 Gd-based neutron capture agents....
