Monitoring and managing of cyclotron beam distribution on the surface of irradiated targets

Abstract

A system for monitoring and managing of the proton-beam distribution on the surface of the targets in the cyclotrons of the Cyclotron Co. is presented in this report. Parameters of proton beams, designs of the target and target devices, used for isotope production, and the system of the managing of the beam distribution on the target are given. The control is fulfilled via monitoring of the temperature distributions using infrared radiation from the target surface. The need in such system for increasing of the isotope productivity and reducing of the likelihood of the target damage is substantiated.
