Commercial Cyclotrons. Part 1. Commercial Cyclotrons of the Energy Range
of 10 to 30 MeV for Isotope Production
Papash A.I., Alenitsky Yu.G.
Review of commercial medical cyclotrons for isotope production is proposed.
For more than 25 years compact isochronous cyclotrons to accelerate negative
hydrogen ions from 10 to 30 MeV energy range are widely used for production
of medical isotopes and other applications. There is a variety of cyclotrons
of the energy range of 10 to 12 MeV with moderate beam current to produce
PET isotopes like 11C, 13N, 15O, 18F. Also high
intensity commercial cyclotrons are available on the market to provide most
of isotopes used in medicine and industry. The physical and technical
parameters of accelerators are compared. Measures to improve performance and
increase beam intensity over 2-3 mA are discussed.
