Technical note: Monte Carlo study of the mechanism of proton–boron fusion therapy

Purpose Proton beam therapy has been found to have enhanced biological effectiveness in targets that contain the boron isotope 11B, with the alpha particles resulting from the p + 11B → 3α reaction being hypothesized as the mechanism; in this study, we aimed to elucidate the causes of the enhanced b...
