Dosimetric measurements in the neutron field produced by a deuterium gas target with a compact medical cyclotron.
Several dosimetric measurements have been carried out in the neutron field produced by accelerated deuterons incident upon a pressurized deuterium gas target. A significant improvement has been achieved in central-axis depth dose when compared to the 9Be(3He,n)11C interaction previously studied . Designs for a target with a high-power dissipation capability are currently underway.
