Abstract
An apparatus and method for accelerator beam line isolation from targets and solid target irradiation chamber in the production of medical radioisotopes by the irradiation of solid targets is provided. The isolation consists of a single, thin material window placed in front of the target in such as way as not to be subjected to any pressure differences when the target irradiation chamber is evacuated or vented and not requiring window surface cooling, relaying only on the heat removal by conduction.
Claims10
An isolation window for isolating a target from a beamline of an accelerator, comprising:
- a single thin foil of impermeable-to-air-and-gases material, attached to a supporting frame to be vacuum tight, wherein the supporting frame is mounted on the beamline so that the foil is placed in a beam path upstream from the target in such a way that the foil is not exposed to any pressure difference during all stages of manipulation and irradiation of the target.
