Abstract
A 10 kJ (15 kV, 88 μF) IS (Iranian Sun) Mather type plasma focus device has been studied to determine the activity of a compound exogenous carbon solid target through 12C(d,n)13N nuclear reaction. The produced 13N is a short-lived radioisotope with a half-life of 9.97 min and threshold energy of 0.28 MeV. The results indicate that energetic deuterons impinging on the solid target can produce yield of \( \langle y\rangle \) = 6.7 × 10−5 with an activity of A = 6.8 × 104 Bq for one plasma focus shut and Aν = 4 × 105 Bq for 6 shut per mint when the projectile maximum deuterons energy is Emax = 3 MeV.
