Abstract The specific energy in a phantom or patient in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is ’ted by gamm~ rays, neutrons of a range of energies and the 10 B reaction products. , dose components are commonly measured with tissue equivalent proportional ~Counters. Tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPCs) utilize tissue equivalent .-erials to depict homogeneous microscopic volumes of human tissue. For TEPCs to be U8ed in BNCf measurement the A-ISO TEP wail is uniformly loaded with 1~• This lllUdYutilizes a Monte Carlo transport code, MCNP, to measure the specific energy in the due to four 2S2Cf sources in a circular arrangement at different distances from the . The output from the MCNP simulation is then used to train the artificial neural (ANN) in order to be used to predict the specific energy at different distances. |
