Development of Radioisotopes Production Method by Accelerator-based Neutron: Activity at Kyushu University 2020
Radioisotopes (RIs) production using deuteron accelerator-based neutrons has been studying at Kyushu University. We especially focus on neutrons generated via the C or Be(d, n) reactions in a target whose thickness is thicker than the deuteron range. These reactions are selected because, (1) high intense neutrons having high kinetic energy are possible to be generated by the elastic and...
Radioisotopes can be used for a variety of applications, e.g., radiotherapy and diagnostics in nuclear medicine. There are basically several reactions to produce each radioisotope. Investigations of such reactions are necessary to find better reactions with less byproducts and with higher cost effectiveness. Production cross sections of the radioisotopes are thus important nuclear data....
At RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF), we have been developing production technologies of radioisotopes (RIs) and conducting RI application studies in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, medicine, pharmaceutical and environmental sciences [1]. With light- to heavy-ion beams from the AVF cyclotron, we produce more than 100 RIs from 7Be (atomic number Z = 4) to 262Db (Z = 105)....
