The scientific and commercial purposes of ion beams are remarkable in many fields because ion beam technology is a primary tool that provides a wide range of applications in science, medicine, space, and engineering. This book presents theoretical and experimental knowledge about ion beam applications and technology. It includes six chapters that address such topics as the interaction of ion beams with matter, the evaluation of nuclear material damage, surface microstructure changes, oblique Ar+ sputtered SiC thin films, electron beam processing, and ribbon ion beams.

Investigation of the Production of Medical Ir-192 Used in Cancer Therapy via Particle Accelerator

By Ozan Artun

To investigate the production of medical Ir-192 radionuclide used in brachytherapy on Os targets in the energy range of Eparticle = 100 → 1 MeV, we calculated the cross-section results for charged particle-induced reactions. The calculation was done via TALYS code and simulated activity and yield of product of each reaction process in the irradiation time of 1 h with constant beam current of 1 μA. The calculated results were compared with experimental data in the literature. Moreover, based on the calculated cross-section data and the mass stopping powers obtained from X-PMSP program, the integral yield results of all the reaction processes to produce Ir-192 on Os targets were presented as a function of incident particle energy. The obtained results were discussed to recommend appropriate reaction processes and targets for the production of Ir-192.
