Abstract

A two-stage method for generating a radioactive ¹⁸F ion beam has been developed. ¹⁸F is produced with a medical cyclotron by 11 MeV proton activation of [¹⁸O]water, then chemically processed off-line for use in a tandem accelerator ion source. Azeotropic distillation reduces the ¹⁸O component by 10⁵, with a resulting ¹⁸O to ¹⁸F beam ratio of about 10³. The average ¹⁸F^- beam intensity per synthesis is 1 ppA over 120 min from a cesium vapor, sputter negative ion source (SNICS), with a peak intensity of 4.5 ppA.
