Description

A study of technical feasibility for positron emitting nuclei (11C) applying to a heavy-ion therapy with an accelerating-beam has been investigated. Because of the beam intensity for the therapy has been required around the order of 108 to 109 particles per beam-pulse in usually at Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), so that the more than factor of ten particles are needed from an ion source. In the present study shows the order of 109 ppp of 11C2+ ions will be extracted from the ion source during 18 minutes at 3.3-second intervals with 1-msec beam pulse under one-Ci of 11C-production. Details of the technical realization and related work out are discussed. (author)
