DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sergey Taskaev (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics)
 \nA compact accelerator-based neutron source VITA has been proposed and cr
 eated at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk\, Russia. 
 The source comprises an original design tandem accelerator\, solid lithium
  target\, and a neutron beam shaping assembly. At present\, the facility p
 rovides the production of protons or deuterons\, the formation of neutron 
 fluxes of almost any energy range: cold\, thermal\, epithermal\, over-epit
 hermal\, monoenergetic or fast\, as well as the generation of 478 keV\, 51
 1 keV or 9.17 MeV photons\, -particles and positrons. \nDeveloped facil
 ity became a prototype of neutron sources for the boron neutron capture th
 erapy clinics. The first commercial neutron source is installed at the Xia
 men Humanity Hospital in China. The next two neutron sources are made for 
 National Oncological Hadron Therapy Center in Pavia (Italy) and for Nation
 al Medical Research Center of Oncology in Moscow (Russia).\nThe facility i
 s used for the development of the boron neutron capture therapy technique\
 , namely: i) to study the effect of neutron radiation on cell cultures and
  laboratory animals\, ii) to treat large pets with spontaneous tumors\, ii
 i) to develop dosimetry tools\, iv) to test new boron delivery drugs.\nThe
  facility is used for a number of other applications\, namely: i) for meas
 uring the cross section and the yield of nuclear reactions\, ii) for study
 ing radiation blistering of metals under ion implantation\, iii) for radia
 tion testing of advanced materials for ITER and CERN\, iv) for measuring t
 he thickness of the lithium layer\, v) for studying the composition of fil
 ms by back-scattered protons\, vi) for in-depth investigation of the 11B(p
 \,) neutronless fusion reaction\, etc.\nThe report will describe 
 the neutron source VITA\, present and discuss the results obtained\, and d
 eclare plans.\nThis research was supported by Russian Science Foundation\,
  grant No. 19-72-30005.\n\nhttps://events.sinp.msu.ru/event/8/contribution
