Prompt gamma ray diagnostics and enhanced hadron-therapy using neutron-free nuclear reactions
Original language description
We propose a series of simulations about the potential use of Boron isotopes to trigger neutron-free (aneutronic) nuclear reactions in cancer cells through the interaction with an incoming energetic proton beam, thus resulting in the emission of characteristic prompt gamma radiation (429 keV, 718 keV and 1435 keV). Furthermore assuming that the Boron isotopes are absorbed in cancer cells, the three alpha-particles produced in each p-11B aneutronic nuclear fusion reactions can potentially result in the enhancement of the biological dose absorbed in the tumor regionsince these multi-MeV alpha-particles are stopped inside the single cancer cell, thusallowing to spare the surrounding tissues.
