Proposal

Purpose

In June of 2012, the Idaho Accelerator Center received a grant from the state of Idaho as part of the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission (IGEM) program. One of the proposed objectives was to research the production of Copper isotopes for use in medical diagnostic procedures. Preliminary results of the work sponsored by this research have indicated that the production of Copper isotopes has a strong dependence on the photon flux alignment with the target isotope sample. An optimal sample size to maximize production has also been determine. Based on these results, a strong need now exists for a system to monitoring the spatial distribution of the photons used to irradiate the samples. We propose the construction of a beam monitoring system that will be used to optimize photon flux and thereby increasing the efficiency of isotope production at least two fold.

Nitrogen tracers: N-15 is rare. If you dope nitrogen sources with it you can see where the leak into environment. This is a stable tracer so it would be able to monitor long time plume expansions.
