Production of positron-emitting radionuclide yttrium-86 with a computer-aided design target for positron emission tomography.

Yttrium-86 (Y, t = 14.7 h, 33% β) is a nonstandard medical nuclide with a longer half-life than other standard nuclides such as gallium-68 for radiolabelling for PET (positron emission computed tomography) imaging. Y is compatible with DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) and can be used to evaluate DOTA-chelated radiopharmaceuticals with long clearance half-lives, particularly therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals in several days.

Ion source and injection line for high intensity medical cyclotron.

A 14 MeV high intensity compact cyclotron, CYCIAE-14, was built at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). An injection system based on the external H- ion source was used on CYCIAE-14 so as to provide high intensity beam, while most positron emission tomography cyclotrons adopt internal ion source. A beam intensity of 100 μA/14 MeV was extracted from the cyclotron with a small multi-cusp H- ion source (CIAE-CH-I type) and a short injection line, which the H- ion source of 3 mA/25 keV H- beam with emittance of 0.

Development of series H(-) multicusp ion source at China Institute of Atomic Energy.

The development of H(-) multicusp ion sources has been carried out at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) for more than ten years. The first H(-) ion source with 5.2 mA was made in 2002.

Development of a compact filament-discharge multi-cusp H- ion source.

A 14 MeV medical cyclotron with the external ion source has been designed and is being constructed at China Institute of Atomic Energy. The H(-) ion will be accelerated by this machine and the proton beam will be extracted by carbon strippers in dual opposite direction. The compact multi-cusp H(-) ion source has been developed for the cyclotron.

Experimental development on the 18 mA, H- multi-cusp ion source at China Institute of Atomic Energy.

The ion source is one of the key devices for the high-intensity cyclotron, which exerts influence on the beam intensity and applications of the machine. The H(-) multi-cusp ion source developed at China Institute of Atomic Energy has been used to perform experimental study on beam intensity and emittance versus the bias voltage, arc power, lens voltage, and pressure of the ion source. Up to now, 18 mA H(-) ion beam with emittance of 0.

Emittance improvement efforts on the 15-20 mA dc H- multicusp source.

A 15 mA beam from the 15-20 mA dc H(-) multicusp source has been obtained at China Institute of Atomic Energy. In order to improve the emittance of extracted beam from this new multicusp source, some measures have been taken, i.e.

Experimental study for 15-20 mA dc H- multicusp source.

Recently, a new H- source and test stand was developed at CIAE. The design of this new source is based on the experience on our previous 10-15 mA H(-) ion source and the source at TRIUMF. Major efforts include the study of the virtual filter magnetic field, confining magnetic field, filament shape and location, the vacuum improvement on the extracting area, the extraction optics, new control and interlock system of the power supplies.

Design of a compact, permanent magnet electron cyclotron resonance ion source for proton and H2(+) beam production.

A 2.45 GHz microwave ion source was developed at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) for proton beam production of over 60 mA [B.-Q.

Matching from H(-) multicusp source to central region of a 100 MeV compact cyclotron for high current injection.

The way of matching the beam from an external ion source to the central region of the cyclotron CYCIAE-100 is presented in this article. The transverse acceptances of the central region were calculated, which provided the matching ellipse parameter requirements to the injection transport optics design. The optics of the injection line was simulated using TRANSOPTR, which allowed space charge effect calculation, and neutralization was taken into account.

[Membrane lipid peroxidation and hypersensitive reaction induced by a glycoprotein elicitor from Magnaporthe grisea in rice leaves].

With a series of four near-isogenic lines (NIL) of rice, studies were carried out in the interaction between rice and a specific glycoprotein elicitor from Magnaporthe grisea. After treatment with the elicitor, O(-.)(2) generation rate increased more remarkably on the leaves of incompatible interaction of rice, than compatible interaction of rice.
