Conceptual design of beryllium targets for the generation of neutron beams for radiation therapy by the (p ,n ) reaction

Abstract
A conceptual design is presented for choosing the Be target thickness and the backstop material. Improvements are achieved in dose-rate, skin sparing and penetration of neutron beams generated by the same proton accelerator.
