This work presents a simulation model developed with the aim to represent and study the
thermal behavior of cyclotron liquid targets. Understanding and improving the thermal …

A vertical-beam target station (VBTS) is described to exploit the high-intensity proton beams
delivered by the upgraded separated-sector cyclotron of iThemba LABS for the production of …

AGATE is a project envisaged to demonstrate the feasibility of transmutation in a gas
(helium) cooled accelerator-driven system using solid spallation target. Development of the …

Routine production of [18F] fluoride has been carried out by 6 MeV proton irradiation of
H218O water using a small-volume silver target vessel. By optimizing the target design, a …

The applicability of the Dittus-Boelter and other duct equations in estimating convection heat-
transfer coefficients for beam windows used in radioisotope production targetry was …

An experiment was designed to study the effect of the jet direction on convective heat-
transfer coefficients in single-jet gas cooling of a small heated surface, such as typically …

The thermal modelling of the helium-cooled beam-window assemblies on the radionuclide
production bombardment stations at iThemba LABS is described based on a dimensional …

This experimental visualization study was conducted to investigate and define the
phenomena of an initially pressurized liquid water target that can prevent the boiling of water …

A series of frozen xenon targets of thicknesses ranging between 1 and 15 mg/cm 2 were
characterised by elastic backscattering technique using a 3 MeV proton beam. Xenon was …
