| Abstract: | One of the possible fields of usage of the I-2 linear proton accelerator of the Kurchatov Complex of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (KCTEP) is the production of various types of radioisotopes. In this paper, the results of the first experimental studies are presented. In the framework of these studies, the main parameters of the proton beam were measured. Irradiation of a gaseous Xe-124 target with further extraction of the I-123 radioisotope from it were also performed. Based on the obtained results, proposals for the further accelerator systems' upgrading, as well as the improvement of the target design, have been considered. The main purpose of these improvement is to ensure the possibility of obtaining I-123 activities at the level of several GBq. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
