ABSTRACT:
A high current (0.2 to at least 2 milliamperes), low-energy (2.2 to 4 MV) ion beam is generated and is utilized to produce clinically significant quantities of medical isotopes useful in applications such as positron emission tomography. For a preferred embodiment, a tandem accelerator is utilized. Negative ions generated by a high current negative-ion source are accelerated by an electrostatic accelerator in which the necessary high voltage is produced by a solid state power supply. The accelerated ions then enter a stripping cell which removes electrons from the ions, converting them into positive ions. The positive ions are then accelerated to a target which is preferably at ground potential. For a preferred embodiment, the solid state power supply utilized to develop the required voltages is a cascade rectifier power supply which is coaxial with the accelerator between the ion source and the stripper, and is designed to have a voltage gradient which substantially matches the maximum voltage gradient of the accelerator.
