Quantum Mechanical Analysis of Neutron Wavefunction Overlap and Nuclear Interaction Probability with Carborane Cage (${}^{10}$B10) in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Hung-Te Henry Su, Chih-Hsueh Lin, Po-Han Lee

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) leverages the nuclear reaction between thermal neutrons and boron-10 (B-10) atoms to induce selective tumor cell death. The spatial and quantum…
