Neutron Source Target System
There are many patents, including the target and the cooling water system. The proton beam transmitted by the cyclotron hits the beryllium target, triggering the 9Be(p,n) reaction to convert protons into high-energy neutrons, and the heat accumulated on the target is quickly taken away by the cooling water flow. Long-distance target change system makes the maintenance of the target more convenient and safer. The neutron source target system can be divided into two parts, which has the following features:
-
Neutron generating target station：
- High-purity beryllium target with a safety system
- Patented target design and high-efficiency cooling system to prolong the life of beryllium targets
-
Long-distance target change system：
- Prevent staff from receiving unnecessary radiation doses With three years storage space, the replaced consumables can be
- placed until the half-life has expired before removed, taking radiation safety into consideration.
Beam Shaping Assembly
HERON's Beam Shaping Assembly (BSA) has several patents, and through unique design, the efficiency of neutron utilization has been greatly improved. Therefore, it can be used with economical accelerators or high-efficiency accelerators. With the economical accelerators, the therapeutic neutron beam for BNCT can be output stably, which meets the therapeutic needs of BNCT. With a high-performance accelerators, the time of BNCT treatment is less than other industry.

Feature：
- HERON's unique proton lateral incidence design, coupled with appropriate neutron retardation materials, the efficiency of proton conversion into usable super-thermal neutrons is greatly improved. The Beam Shaping Assembly consists of a filter (iron, fluoride composite), a lead reflector, a bismuth polymer, and a neutron shielding material (PE boron-doped). The high-energy neutrons are decelerated by the BSA process and adjusted into a super-thermal neutron beam suitable for BNCT irradiation.
Treatment Control System
Treatment Control System (TCS) is used to control the AB-BNCT system's beam switch and monitor system status, and to ensure the safety of the system's control process through software design, as well as to provide operation logging functions and report output. The treatment control system can be categorized into four operation modes: system setup, beam quality assurance, clinical treatment, and research application.

Treatment Plan System
The Treatment Dose Calculation Engine utilizes the Monte Carlo algorithm, which allows a commercial computer to simulate the migration of more than one million neutrons in 60 minutes. In addition, the acceleration level can be adjusted according to the user's needs. In Level 2 acceleration mode, it only takes 15 minutes to complete the migration simulation equivalent to one million particles, and the computational error of each pixel in the treatment area is maintained within 1.5%. If upgraded to Level 8 acceleration mode, it is possible to complete the calculation equivalent to one million particles in only one minute.
