Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for delivering delta radiation using prompt neutron capture gamma radiation are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a device for delivering delta radiation can include a neutron generator, an electron emitter, and an irradiation target. The neutron generator may be configured to generate a neutron flux field. The an irradiation target can include an irradiation target material having a high thermal neutron cross section and can be configured to emit gamma radiation in response to exposure to the neutron flux field. The electron emitter can be configured to emit delta radiation in response to exposure to the gamma radiation. In some aspects, the irradiation target and the electron emitter can be configured to be positioned between the neutron generator and a surface of an object to deliver the delta radiation to a target region within the object.
