Generation of radioisotopes for medical applications using high-repetition, high-intensity lasers
Original language description
e used the PW high-repetition laser facility VEGA-3 at Centro de L & aacute;seres Pulsados in Salamanca, with the goal of studying the generation of radioisotopes using laser-driven proton beams. Various types of targets have been irradiated, including in particular several targets containing boron to generate alpha-particles through the hydrogen-boron fusion reaction. We have successfully identified gamma-ray lines from several radioisotopes created by irradiation using laser-generated alpha-particles or protons including 43Sc, 44Sc, 48Sc, 7Be, 11C and 18F. We show that radioisotope generation can be used as a diagnostic tool to evaluate alpha-particle generation in laser-driven proton-boron fusion experiments. We also show the production of 11C radioisotopes, $approx 6 times 10<^>{6}$ , and of 44Sc radioisotopes, $approx 5 times 10<^>{4}$ per laser shot. This result can open the way to develop laser-driven radiation sources of radioisotopes for medical applications.
