Abstract
The paper proposes the study of a novel photo-neutron source based on a medical high-energy electron Linac. Previous studies by the authors already demonstrated the possibility to obtain with this technique a thermal neutron flux of the order of 107 cm−2 s−1. This paper shows possible Linac’s setup and a new photo-converter design to reach a thermal neutron flux around 6 × 107 cm−2 s−1, keeping a reasonable high quality of the beam with respect to fast neutron and gamma contaminations.
