DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dmitrii Kasatov (Budker INP)\nIn the Budker Institut
 e of Nuclear Physics an accelerator based epithermal neutron source was pr
 oposed and designed to the development of the perspective cancer treatment
 \, which is the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy. The source consists of a va
 cuum-insulated tandem accelerator\, which produces a  2MeV proton or deute
 rium beam\,  a lithium target in which neutrons are generated in the 7 Li(
 p\, n)7 Be threshold reaction and beam shaping assembly (BSA) which forms 
 a neutron beam An epithermal-neutron beam suitable for boron neutron captu
 re therapy was obtained and successful biological studies were carried out
  with the source. To generate a powerful flux of fast neutrons\, we use th
 e reaction Li (d\,n)\, The operating mode with the deuteron beam is attrac
 tive for radiation testing of materials\, fast neutron therapy\, and other
  applications. At proton energies below the neutron generation threshold\,
  the reaction of inelastic proton scattering by lithium can be used to gen
 erate a monochromatic 478 keV line. The report gives a description of the 
 neutron source and the results obtained at the facility\n\nhttps://indico.
