ABSTRACT:
In a slow positron beam generating device having a cyclotron for irradiating protons or deuterons during an irradiating time interval, a target member receives the protons or the deuterons to generate radioisotopes which emit positrons by causing .beta..sup.+ decay. Ejecting electrodes receive the positrons moderated by a moderator to eject a slow positron beam. The irradiating time interval is longer than a half life of the radioisotope. Preferably, the irradiating time interval is longer than a six multiplied by the half life of the radioisotope.
