Introductory Chapter: Ion Beam Applications

Abstract

beams are also being used to produce radioisotopes that are used for the mentioned uses. Further research is also going on to produce high-quality radioisotopes through the series of investigation into production of radioisotopes and its decay characteristics in medical applications such as cross-section measurement of ion beam with target atom to monitor nuclear reactions, compilation of nuclear reaction data for therapeutic radionuclides production, and Beta decay nuclear reaction cross-section measurement for positron emission tomography.
