Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) technology, and in particular to a target disk rotating BNCT neutron target system. Background Technology
[0002] Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cutting-edge cancer treatment that combines principles of nuclear physics and biomedicine. The therapy works by accelerating protons to a certain energy level using an accelerator, then bombarding a target with the protons. The neutrons are then shaped to form a neutron beam, which is then reacted with boron-10 (… 10 B) The nuclear reaction property is triggered by selectively delivering boron compounds to cancer cells and irradiating these cells with a neutron beam, thereby releasing high-energy particles that can damage the DNA of cancer cells, leading to cancer cell death.
[0003] The neutron target is a key component of a BNCT (Brain-Neuro-Treating Therapy) device, used to generate a neutron beam for cancer treatment. The selection and design of the neutron target are crucial to the efficacy and safety of BNCT. Neutron targets generally utilize... 9 Be(p, n) 9 B reaction, 7 Li(P, n) 7 Be reaction. However, when using this 9 Be(p, n) 9 In the B reaction, to produce the amount of neutrons required for BNCT, the proton acceleration energy needs to be increased to 30 MeV, and the energy of the produced neutrons will also increase accordingly. And... 7 Li(P, n) 7 In the Be reaction, the acceleration energy of the proton is compared to 9 Be(p, n) 9 Reaction B, set at a lower value of 2.5 MeV, is compared to... 9 Be(p, n) 9 The proton acceleration energy in the B reaction is an order of magnitude lower, and the energy of the produced neutrons is also significantly lower than that of the Be target, resulting in lower energy consumption for decelerating the neutrons. Therefore, in current BNCT... 7 Li(P, n) 7 The utilization of the Be reaction has attracted widespread attention.
[0004] In the accelerator boron neutron capture therapy, the proton beam is accelerated by the accelerator, the proton beam is accelerated to an energy sufficient to overcome the Coulomb repulsion of the target nucleus, and a nuclear reaction occurs with the target to generate neutrons, so that the target will be bombarded by the accelerated proton beam with very high energy level in the process of generating neutrons, a small amount of protons and neutrons in the target occur nuclear reaction to generate neutrons, and a large number of high-speed protons gradually decelerate in the neutron target until the speed is zero and then deposited in the neutron target. The energy of the high-speed protons is absorbed by the neutron target, which causes the temperature of the target to rise sharply, and the metal part of the target is prone to blistering, thereby affecting the service life of the target.
[0005] Patent No. 201911264901.0 discloses a target for a neutron line generating device. Patent No. 202210824444.1 discloses a target for a particle beam generating device. The above patents all use the conventional fixed target method, which prolongs the service life of the target to a certain extent by arranging different heat dissipation layers and anti-bubbling layers. Patent No. 202210788155.0 discloses a lithium target for BNCT, which attempts to solve the problems of neutron target heating and blistering by setting an anisotropic carbon substrate, but its technical solution has certain problems: when no intermediate metal is set, the passing protons cannot be captured; when the intermediate metal is set, the passing protons are captured by the intermediate metal, which is equivalent to the heat of the proton bombardment of the lithium target and the intermediate metal layer being conducted and dissipated through the anisotropic carbon substrate; the heat dissipation of the anisotropic carbon substrate is longer, and the heat conduction distance is shorter than that without the anisotropic carbon substrate.
[0006] The above technical solutions have solved the problems of neutron target heat dissipation and blistering to a certain extent, but the existing solutions all use the fixed target method, and the material load of the active layer for nuclear reaction with protons is small. When the reaction reaches a certain degree, the thickness of the active layer material is significantly reduced, resulting in very low neutron yield, so this type of neutron target has a short service life due to the small load of the active layer material. In addition, the neutron target is radioactive after being bombarded by neutrons due to nuclear reaction or activation, which has a certain degree of pollution and is inconvenient to replace.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Practical new type content
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and provide a target disc rotating type BNCT neutron target system.
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the technical scheme basic thought as follows: (1) through the multiple target disc assembly splicing is annular, the load of the action layer material is greatly improved, thereby greatly improving the service life of the neutron target.(2) through setting up the cooling circuit in the target material backboard in the target disc assembly, the target material working process is realized quick cooling;Target disc assembly is arranged as annular through splicing, target disc assembly rotates in working, the particle beam bombardment position is invariable and target disc assembly rotation makes the target material assembly on the action layer is bombarded the part of the moment transformation, greatly reduces the local heat production.(3) compared with the conventional BNCT target material single heat dissipation mode, the target disc assembly of the utility model is not bombarded non-working area also carries out heat dissipation, the heat dissipation effect is greatly improved.
[0010] One key parameter of BNCT neutron target is neutron yield, when the neutron target action layer material is metal lithium, the energy of proton beam and the thickness of action layer greatly influence neutron yield. Through simulation calculation, when the energy of proton beam is 2.2MeV, the thickness of metal lithium layer is about 50μm, the neutron yield is maximum; when the energy of proton beam is 2.5MeV, the thickness of metal lithium layer is about 98μm, the neutron yield is maximum; when the energy of proton beam is 3MeV, the thickness of metal lithium layer is about 188μm, the neutron yield is maximum. This also shows that the conventional BNCT neutron target will affect the neutron yield and thus affect the treatment effect with the increase of use time. The action layer of the target disc rotating type BNCT neutron target system of the utility model is continuous annular after splicing, the action layer load is several times to several tens times of the conventional fixed type BNCT target material, which can keep relatively large neutron yield of the neutron target in a long use cycle.
