Abstract
A race-track microtron is used to measure the yield of 18F in the reaction 19F(γ, n) at an energy of the electron beam of 55 MeV. 18F is widely used in positron emission tomography for high-sensitivity diagnostics. The currently available data are not sufficient to make accurate estimates of the yield of 18F in isotope production experiments using the reaction (γ, n). The value of σ−1 estimated in this work is (1.7 ± 0.1) mb.
