Featured Application Use of fiber optics to measure temperature and pressure in a target on
a medical cyclotron. Abstract A Bragg grating inscribed into an inorganic optical fiber was …

Introduction In this work, we present the first feasibility study on the production of the
medically important radionuclide 103 Pd via the 103 Rh (p, n) 103 Pd reaction by cyclotron …

Increased interest in radiometals for nuclear medicine and imaging can be hampered by
radionuclide supply. 89 Zr for example, is a PET imaging nuclide for which no radionuclide …

Abstract Background Production of [11C] CH4 from gas targets is notorious for weak
performance with respect to yield, especially when using high beam currents. Post-target …

Transient behavior of proton-beam bombarded liquid-targets are studied at various initial
conditions at the TR13 cyclotron at TRIUMF. Depending on the initial condition, experiments …

Gas target systems have been used for decades on cyclotrons to produce radionuclides for
medical imaging. However, the activity recovered from such targets is often lower than its …

A forced-convection gas target for the production of [11 C] CH 4 on a 13 MeV cyclotron was
constructed and tested. A small fan was incorporated into the back of the target, which mixes …

Medical isotope production of 11 C is commonly performed in gaseous targets. The power
deposition of the proton beam during the irradiation decreases the target density due to …

The steady-state behaviour of a liquid target used to produce medical isotopes by low-
energy cyclotrons is studied. A model based on the conservation of mass and energy is …

The purpose of this work is to introduce a universal mathematical model to explain a gas
target behaviour at steady-state time scale. To obtain our final goal, an analytical model is …
