Production of 165Er with deuterons at IFMIF-DONES López-Melero, E. Arias De Saavedra Alias, Fernando Da Silva, I. Roldán Aranda, Andrés María Praena Rodríguez, Antonio Javier 165Er direct route production Deuteron beam Auger-electron therapy The production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine is boosted by different international agencies. IFMIF-DONES will be an infrastructure where neutrons will be generated by the impact of a high-power deuteron beam onto a lithium jet target. At present, IFMIF-DONES studies the possibility of deflecting 0.1% of its standard 125 mA current of 40 MeV deuteron beam for the complementary applications to be conducted inside a new experimental hall. Such deuteron beam is being considered to be used for radioisotope production for nuclear medicine. Here, we discuss the production of a potential Auger-electron emitter radioisotope for therapy 165Er with 125 A deuterons on Ho. Due to the high-power delivered onto the sample, we study by means of SolidWorks simulations a realistic device as cooling system for the holmium sample. Our results show a significant 165Er production in comparison with other experimental routes available in the literature. 2024-07-30T10:18:39Z 2024-07-30T10:18:39Z 2024-04-20 journal article López Melero, E. et. al. 39 (2024) 101659.
