Development of Nuclear Target Production and Characterization Capabilities at San José State University [PDF]
We report the capabilities of a new nuclear targetry lab that has been established at San José State University (SJSU). Focusing on thin film targets for low energy nuclear reaction studies, the SJSU targetry group is able to make and characterize ...

Production of the PET radionuclide 61Cu via the 62Ni(p,2n)61Cu nuclear reaction [PDF]
Background There are only a handful of true theranostic matched pairs, and in particular the theranostic radiocopper trio 61Cu, 64Cu and 67Cu, for diagnosis and therapy respectively, is a very attractive candidate. In fact, the alternative of two imaging

A Consideration of Fiscal Targetry
ABSTRACT The UK's current fiscal rules and framework are not fit for purpose. Try as they might, the rules are more “honor'd in the breach than the observance”. They have introduced an unintended incentive on the margin (at fiscal events) to trade off government investment for government consumption.

Targetry Challenges & HiRadMat [PDF]
HiRadMat is a unique user facility providing a controlled test environment for accelerator experiments investigating the effects of high energy, high intensity proton beam. HiRadMat uses a 440 GeV/c proton beam fastly-extracted from the CERN SPS and can currently provide a maximum pulse intensity of 3.5 × 10^13 protons.

Simplified targetry and separation chemistry for 68Ge production
Introduction 68Ge (t½ = 270.8 d, 100% EC) is an important radionuclide for two reasons: 1) once in equilib-rium with its daughter nuclide 68Ga (t½ = 68 min, 89 % β+, 3 % 1077 keV γ), it can be used as a positron source for attenuation correction and calibration of PET/MRI scanners; and 2) it can be employed as a generator of 68Ga for radiophar ...
