Design of a new BNCT facility based on an ESQ accelerator

The authors plan to build a BNCT facility based on electrostatic quadrupole (ESQ) accelerator technology. It is an experimentally-proven technology capable of delivering a high proton current for producing a neutron intensity greater than what is required for BNCT clinical trials. They also present a design of a lithium neutron-production target with adequate cooling of the heat generated by the high-current proton beam.
