Evaluating the dependency of neutron spectra and absorbed dose rates on the collimation field size in fast neutron therapy

The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between the collimator aperture and fast-neutron flux, neutron-energy spectrum and absorbed dose rate. For remote therapy, rather large fluxes of fast neutrons are needed which can create dose levels in the tissues of at least 0.1 Gy/min w...
