Description

Distribution of positron emitters induced through auto activation of 12C(135MeV/u, nominal) in Lucite were measured with coincidence counting technique. A major product was 11C and peaked at near the range of 11C calculated on the basis of energy (11/12) times that of projectiles. Dose dissipated at Bragg peak of the beam estimated to be comparable to the dose used in radiation therapy and auto activation technique can hardly be used for assessment of dose distribution.
