abstract = {The upper limit of the energy for epithermal neutrons is usually fixed to 10
keV based on the experience with spectra from reactors used until now for Boron
Neutron Capture Therapy. The future use of accelerators with this therapy will
provide different neutron spectra that require a more detailed study of this upper
limit. Using our own Monte Carlo neutron transport code, we have calculated
figures of merit on the dose depth profile to find this upper limit. Our results
indicate that this upper limit could be incremented up to 17 keV under these
new conditions.},
