Description

technical field [0001] One aspect of the present invention relates to a radiation irradiation system, in particular to a neutron capture therapy system; another aspect of the present invention relates to a target for a radiation irradiation system, in particular to a particle beam generating device target. Background technique [0002] With the development of atomic science, radiation therapy such as cobalt 60, linear accelerator, and electron beam has become one of the main means of cancer treatment. However, traditional photon or electron therapy is limited by the physical conditions of the radiation itself. While killing tumor cells, it will also cause damage to a large number of normal tissues along the beam path; in addition, due to the different sensitivity of tumor cells to radiation, traditional radiation therapy Treatment for more radioresistant malignant tumors (eg glioblastoma multiforme, melanoma) is often less effective. [0003] In order to reduce radiation d...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the accelerator boron neutron capture therapy, the accelerator boron neutron capture therapy accelerates the proton beam through the accelerator, the proton beam is accelerated to an energy sufficient to overcome the Coulomb repulsion of the target nucleus, and undergoes a nuclear reaction with the target to produce neutrons, so in the generation During the proton process, the target will be irradiated by a very high-energy level of accelerated proton beams, the temperature of the target will rise sharply, and the metal part of the target will easily bubble, which will affect the service life of the target.
