Abstract
Intense neutron beams are produced for therapy purposes at the cyclotron of the University of Louvain. The paper deals with the improvement of the target system which allows the use of a 65 MeV proton beam instead of the previously used 50 MeV deuteron beam on Be target. The optimum composition of the target assembly is described. The performance of the new neutron beam is compared with the previous one: dose rate, gamma contribution, depth doses and induced radioactivity.
