Gas target optimization of ~(11)C, ~(15)O and ~(18)F production for pet

摘要

The maximum production yield as a function of incident beam energy, pressure and target length have been investigated. Graphs were generated relating these parameters for the ~(20)Ne(d, a)~(18)O(p, n)~(18)F, ~(14)N(p, a) ~(11)C, ~(14)N(d,n ) ~(15)O and ~(15)P (p, n) ~(15)O reactions teoretically. The optimum beam energies for maximum production yield obtained experimentally for reactions ~(20)Ne (d, a)~(18)F and ~(14)N(p, a) ~(11)C are consistent with the theoretical predictions.
