Abstract

Globally, there are several AB-BNCT facilities, either operational and already treating patients and others still under development. These facilities range from high-energy 30 MeV cyclotrons using the ⁹Be(p,n) reaction, medium-energy RFQ-DTL accelerators operating at 8–10 MeV with the same reaction, low-energy electrostatic machines (Tandem and single-ended) using the ⁷Li(p,n) reaction at approximately 2.5 MeV. Additionally, the low-energy ESQ accelerator developed in Argentina, employs the ⁹Be(d,n) or the ¹³C(d,n) reactions at 1.45 MeV. This paper presents updated insights into Argentina's AB-BNCT project while also providing a global overview of AB-BNCT developments.

期刊介绍： Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
