Abstract
An intense positron source, 18F, with a half life of 110 min has been developed for spin polarized positron beams. The radioactive 18F (ca. 30 GBq) is produced in 1 ml 18O-water target via the 18O(p,n)18F reaction with a 14 MeV proton beam at a current of 20 μA in the AVF cyclotron vault. An irradiated 18O-water is transferred to an experimental vault downstairs to be trapped and placed just in front of the moderator. The electrodeposition method was used to collect and fix 18F on a small spot from 18O-water. Recovery of 18F on the graphite cylinder of 5 mm is 69% and 35% for 3 mm cylinder, respectively.
