First experimental demonstration of real-time neutron capture discrimination in helium and carbon ion therapy

Abstract This work provides the first experimental proof of an increased neutron capture photon signal following the introduction of boron to a PMMA phantom during helium and carbon ion therapies in Neutron Capture Enhanced Particle Therapy (NCEPT). NCEPT leverages $$^{10}$$ 10 B neutron capture, le...
