摘要：

Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a highly selective technique for the treatment of localised infiltrating cancers, such as gliomas in the human brain. The treatment can be optimised by operating on two independent parameters: the boron selective concentration in tumor cells and the neutron capture rate. Neutron sources providing an epithermal spectrum are being considered for clinical use, because thermal neutrons have a poor penetration power and cannot be used for the treatment of deeply located tumors. In this work, the design of an epithermal beam for BNCT at the low-power fast-flux reactor TAPIRO in Rome is presented.
