Analyzing of Production Conditions of 89Zr in the Particle Accelerator

Abstract

Nowadays 89Zr is outstanding PET radionuclide with its physical half-life (t1/2 ~ 78 hours), useful decay specifications and so that it is suitable for antibody-based immuno-PET. Relatively oscillated positrons' low decay energies supply to take high-resolution. 89Zr-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, especially as 89Zr-labeled antibodies applications are getting increase day by day.

In this study, calculations about production of 89Zr were done and used (p,n) reaction of 89Y target system. For this Q-value, Threshold Energy, Minimum Coulomb Barrier Energy of the reaction were calculated then the cross-sections of this reaction were found using Empire3.2/MALTA code. After determining the irradiation calculations, the bombardment performed. The irradiation was performed in Ankara Sarayköy Nuclear Research and Training Center, proton accelerator. The cyclotron is IBA type Cyclone-30. Then separation part was done with Dowex resine system. After separation 89Zr from the irradiated target system, radioactive 89Zr was obtained purely.
