東北大CYRICのサイクロトロン加速器施設と多目的利用

抄録

Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC) was established in 1977 as a joint-use research and education facility of Tohoku University to provide multi-purpose use of the cyclotron, high radioactivity of radioisotopes (RI), short-lived RI produced by the cyclotron, and education and training for the safe handling of RI. CYRIC has two cyclotrons. One is the HM12-cyclotron, which is used to produce positron emitting radionuclides. Another is the 930-cyclotron, which is the K110 AVF cyclotron, and can accelerate various ions to various energies. There are five experimental rooms in CYRIC. Various research is being conducted in each experimental room using unique equipment and instruments. One of features in the CYRIC 930-cyclotron is that it was designed for negative ion acceleration from the time of introduction. Recently, the negative ion acceleration project was restarted. A project for mass production of medical RIs using high intensity deuterium beam is progress.
