摘要

Purpose

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a radiotherapy method that relies on the fact that the 10B nucleus has a very high affinity for neutron capture. The accelerator-based neutron source is widely regarded as a reliable, safe, and cost-effective solution for BNCT.

Methods

This paper provides a detailed introduction to the beam commissioning methods, philosophy, and results of the BNCT02 accelerator at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Results

The BNCT02 accelerator achieves a target beam power of approximately 28 kW, with efficient beam transport through the low-energy beam transport (LEBT), radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), and high-energy beam transport (HEBT) systems meeting design expectations. The RFQ accelerator operates reliably at high duty cycle and power levels.

Conclusion

The results demonstrate the successful and stable transport of the BNCT02 accelerator beam to the target, establishing a dependable neutron source for BNCT applications and laying a robust groundwork for future research and clinical implementations in BNCT.
