[3N14] Fusion Reaction on the Electrode of Neutron Source for Low Dose Rate Radiotherapy

*Satoshi Konishi¹, Ryuta Kasada¹, Keisuke Mukai¹ (1. Kyoto Univ.)

Keywords:neutron, radiotherapy, fusion, discharge, titanium deuteride

Discharge fusion neutron source was developed for low dose rate radiotherapy with repeated irradiation. Electrodes coated with deuterium for enhanced fusion reaction was characterized and sufficient neutron flux was expected to be generated.
