  • Radioisotope production system and method for controlling the same
    Patent number: 10340051
    Abstract: Radioisotope production system includes an electrical field system and a magnetic field system that are configured to direct a particle beam of charged particles along a beam path within an acceleration chamber. The magnetic field system is energized by a drive current to generate a magnetic flux into the acceleration chamber for controlling the particle beam. The radioisotope production system also includes a target system configured to hold a target material and receive the particle beam. The radioisotope production system also includes a monitoring system that is configured to: (a) determine an operating parameter of the radioisotope production system as the particle beam is directed toward the target material and (b) change the drive current, thereby changing the magnetic flux, based on the operating parameter.
    Type: Grant
