Accelerator-Based Epithermal Neutron Source for BNCT

An economical Accelerator-Based Epithermal Neutron Source (ABENS) for the BNCT application! Based on the latest development in linac technology, the revolutionary RFI Linac Structure, this unit offers higher efficiency operation from smaller units at lower cost. While still under development, these projections are based on well-established accelerator development techniques.
