THE PROBLEM
Neutrons are powerful — and hard to get.
The machines that make them are big, scarce, and costly — gatekeeping medicine, industry, and security.
ACCESS
Too scarce
A handful of facilities worldwide
BNCT-grade and high-flux neutron access is limited to a few centres globally.
COST
Too costly
Out of reach for most hospitals & labs
Capital and footprint keep advanced neutron sources from the institutions that need them.
THREE FLAGSHIP PLATFORMS
One ecosystem, from ion to grid.
A continuous technology stack — precision low-energy beams, recirculating high-energy drivers, and modular reactors — engineered, simulated end-to-end, and validated against published physics.

01 — LOW-ENERGY BEAM
LEB
Precision ion sources and beam delivery.
A dual-ECR deuterium source with triode Pierce extraction, low-emittance focusing optics and an RFQ front end. Engineered for stable, high-purity beam delivery into compact neutron and BNCT systems — full control from plasma to bunched beam.

02 — HIGH-ENERGY BEAM
HEB
A recirculating, energy-recovering deuteron driver.
Driver mode — a deuteron beam on a rotating beryllium target gives forward-peaked fast neutrons for materials, imaging and detection.
Medical mode — a ⁷Li(p,n) front end shifts the beam to an epithermal spectrum tuned for boron neutron capture therapy.
CR-ERD — a tens-of-MeV deuteron driver on a compact sub-10 m recirculating ring that recovers the beam energy and fires a rotating beryllium target for forward-peaked fast neutrons. >6× more compact and roughly 2× lower dissipated power than a conventional single-pass linac, wrapped in a machine-learning digital twin.

CROSS-CHECK

MEBT vs matrix optics
RF-Track 3D transport reproduces analytic matrix optics to within <1% envelope difference.

ML surrogate accuracy
A machine-learning twin predicts machine performance against the physics models at R² > 0.99.
COMPACT
>6×
More compact than a linac
A sub-10 m recirculating ring vs a much longer single-pass reference machine — same energy class.
ENERGY RECOVERY
~2× lower power
Dissipated power vs a single-pass linac
By recovering the beam energy, the recirculating ring cuts dissipated power roughly 2× at the same neutron rate — a smaller, cooler, simpler machine.
HOW WE COMPARE
Same physics. A fraction of the machine.
