Abstract
A source of fast and epithermal neutrons was constructed on the Prometheus medical accelerator at an energy of 200 MeV, and measurements of the yield of fast and epithermal neutrons were made using the BDMN-100 detector. A heavy NaI target was used to obtain fast neutrons. Based on the five developed different protective materials from neutrons, a channel of fast and epithermal neutrons was formed. Using the BDMN-100 neutron detector, the dose profiles at the outlet of the neutron channel were measured. The neutron source has a possible application for research work on the creation of new radiopharmaceuticals. Fast neutrons can be used for remote therapy and reliability control of electronic boards and microcircuits. The neutron beam can also be used to study biological objects and cells.
期刊介绍：
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
