摘要:

在入射中子能量范围从1 meV到10 keV的范围内测量了20种蛋白质氨基酸的实验热中子截面,并使用基于第一性原理计算的多声子展开对数据进行了解释。的散射截面,占主导地位的非相干的非弹性贡献的氢原子,可以合理化的平均贡献不同的官能团,从而忽略它们的相关性。这些结果可用于模拟总中子截面的复杂的有机系统,如蛋白质,肌肉,或人体组织从有限数量的起始输入功能。这种简化是至关重要的微调运输模拟在医疗应用中使用,包括硼中子俘获治疗以及质子治疗过程中引起的二次中子发射。此外,参数化中子截面允许更好地处理中子散射实验,提供详细的样品自衰减校正的各种生物和软物质系统。

英文摘要:

The experimental thermal neutron cross sections of the twenty proteinogenic amino acids have been measured over the incident-neutron energy range spanning from 1 meV to 10 keV and data have been interpreted using the multi-phonon expansion based on first-principles calculations. The scattering cross section, dominated by the incoherent inelastic contribution from the hydrogen atoms, can be rationalised in terms of the average contributions of different functional groups, thus neglecting their correlation. These results can be used for modelling the total neutron cross sections of complex organic systems like proteins, muscles, or human tissues from a limited number of starting input functions. This simplification is of crucial importance for fine-tuning of transport simulations used in medical applications, including boron neutron capture therapy as well as secondary neutrons-emission induced during proton therapy. Moreover, the parametrized neutron cross sections allow a better treatment of neutron scattering experiments, providing detailed sample self-attenuation corrections for a variety of biological and soft-matter systems.
