Neutronics Analyses of the Radiation Field at the Accelerator-Based Neutron Source of Nagoya University for the BNCT Study

The Nagoya University Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (NUANS) is an accelerator-based neutron source by <sup>7</sup>Li(p,n)<sup>7</sup>Be reaction with a 2.8 MeV proton beam up to 15 mA. The fast neutrons are moderated and shaped to beam with a Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA)....
