Texas A&M Evaluation Center Texas A&M Evaluation Center Expanded Involvement in Applied Measurements for Medical Isotopes Production by Inverse Kinematics Theme Theme: : Research for Medical Isotopes Production by Inverse Kinematics Research for Medical Isotopes Production by Inverse Kinematics Innovative method for the production of important medical radioisotopes based on the nuclear reaction in inverse kinematics, by: Directing a heavy ion beam of appropriate energy on a light target (e.g., H, d, He) and Collecting the isotope of interest on an appropriate catcher after the target. e.g.

Case Studies (at this stage beyond the proof-of-principle): hydrogen gas target cryogenic gas target Secondary neutrons from the primary reaction were used to irradiate a secondary target for further radioisotope production (to be further developed) At K500 Cyclotron & MARS spectrometer of Texas A&M Cyclotron Institute 67Cu (T1/2 = 62 h) via the reaction of 70Zn beam of 15 MeV/nucleon with a cryogenic 99Mo (T1/2 = 66 h) via the reaction of 100Mo of 12 MeV/nucleon with a cryogenic 4He (b) (a) Radioactive isotopes identified by - -ray spectroscopy: (a) 67Cu run (b) 99Mo run ray spectroscopy:
