COMPACT SOLID TARGET FOR LOW ENERGY MEDICAL CYCLOTRON

摘要

Described herein is a compact cyclotron solid target for radionuclide production. In contrast to other cyclotron solid targets, the compact cyclotron solid target described herein utilizes liquid (e.g., water) cooling flow (in and out) from the front of the target, which clears the back of the solid target of any hanging tubing and connectors which may block load-release the target easily. Having water cool the target from the front considerably reduces the size of the whole solid target mechanism.
