摘要

利用Geant4软件包中的蒙特卡罗模拟对真空绝缘串联加速器(VITA)装置产生的中子场参数进行了评估。建立了该装置目标部分的详细模型,包括输出加速器管、用于中子生成的正面锂靶、后板冷却系统和中子慢化剂系统。通过模拟可以得到质子能量为2.05 MeV辐照小生物物体的配置中中子通量强度的能量和空间分布。结果表明,所得中子通量强度计算值与目标值相符,为辐照生物目标提供了可接受的时间间隔。此外,模拟中子场的横向分布与实验数据和初步理论预期相吻合。所建立的模型可用于体外和体内小生物物体辐照实验的剂量规划和中子束形成系统的进一步优化,以提高中子俘获治疗的治疗指标。

Evaluation of Neutron Field Parameters at the VITA Facility Using Geant4 Simulation

Evaluation of Neutron Field Parameters at the VITA Facility Using Geant4 Simulation

Parameters of the neutron field generated at the VITA (Vacuum Insulated Tandem Accelerator) installation are assessed using Monte Carlo simulation in the Geant4 software package. A detailed model of the target section of the installation is developed, including the output accelerator tube, frontal lithium target for neutron generation, backplate cooling system, and neutron moderator system. The simulation makes it possible to obtain the energy and spatial distributions of the neutron flux intensities in the configuration intended for irradiation of small biological objects at a proton energy of 2.05 MeV. It is shown that the obtained calculated values of the neutron flux intensities correspond to the target values, providing acceptable time intervals for irradiating biological objects. Moreover, the transverse profiles of the simulated neutron field are consistent with the experimental data and preliminary theoretical expectations. The developed model can be used for dose planning in experiments on irradiation of small biological objects in vitro and in vivo and for further optimization of the neutron beam formation system to increase a therapeutic index in neutron capture therapy.
