This Research Topic encompasses both theoretical and experimental studies related to BNCT. It includes the design, validation, and characterization of targeted neutron sources, both accelerator-based ...

In the world of nuclear physics, protons often take the spotlight. But now, for the first time, the neutron has stepped into it. A recent experiment using the U.S. Department of Energy’s Jefferson Lab ...

patients are exposed to a low-energy neutron beam from a nuclear reactor or, in recent years, a large machine called an accelerator. The boron absorbs these neutrons, generating high-energy ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. — Overnight in the Secret City, people are working around the clock to conduct research. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is always awake with more than 6,000 scientists, ...

10-years-in-the-making detector installed in Experimental Hall B at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. "We detected the neutron for the first time in ...
