ABSTRACT 62, 64Cu are radioisotopes of medical interest that can be used for positron
emission tomography (PET) imaging. Moreover, 64Cu has β− decay characteristics that …

Radioisotopes are indispensable agents in medical diagnosis and treatment, among which
copper-62, 64 (62, 64 Cu) and gallium-68 (68 Ga) are medical isotopes widely used in …

In the last two decades, there has been a strong research interest in producing
radioisotopes with ultra-intense lasers, as an application of laser-driven accelerators in …

Copper-64 is a radioisotope of medical interest that could be used for positron emission
tomography imaging and targeted radiotherapy of cancer. In this work, we investigated the …

The results of complex simulations using PIC-GEANT4 (particle-in-cell and Monte-Carlo)
codes based on the generation of a high-energy electron bunch by a short laser pulse …

In contrast to conventional bremsstrahlung photon beam sources, laser backscatter photon
sources at electron synchrotrons provide the capability to selectively tune photons to …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful diagnostic/imaging technique requiring
the production of the short-lived positron emitting isotopes 11 C, 13 N, 15 O and 18 F by …

Medical isotopes can be produced by reactors and accelerators [1]. For certain isotopes
there could be an advantage to a certain production method. For example; in some cases …

Protons of energies up to 37 MeV have been generated when ultra-intense lasers (up to 10
20W cm− 2) interact with hydrogen containing solid targets. These protons can be used to …

In this study, we theoretically investigate the feasibility of using laser-wakefield accelerated
(LWFA) electrons for the photonuclear measurement of nuclear isomers according to the …
