TARGET SYSTEM FOR IRRADIATION OF MOLYBDENUM WITH PARTICLE BEAMS

摘要

A target system for irradiation of molybdenum with charged particles from an accelerator to produce technetium and molybdenum radioisotopes. The target system comprises a molybdenum-100 material brazed with a brazing alloy to a backing material. The backing material preferably comprises a dispersion-strengthened copper composite. The brazing alloy comprises copper and phosphorus.
