  • Patent number: 11456085
    Abstract: A facility for producing radioisotopes. The facility includes at least one target holder. The target holder is configured to receive a target that includes a compound to be irradiated with an accelerated particle beam. The facility includes a cyclotron for producing the accelerated particle beam. The cyclotron includes at least one accelerating cavity within which the beam is subjected to a radiofrequency electric field in order to be accelerated and to a magnetic field enabling it to travel through the cavity several times, describing orbits about an axis of the cyclotron. The magnetic field is produced by at least one coil. The at least one target holder is inside the at least one coil as observed along the axis of the cyclotron. The at least one coil does not have symmetry of revolution about the axis.
