Summary
The IBA-cyclotron installed at the University of Costa Rica is aiming to produce radioisotopes based-on solid targets, as well as the recently IBA-cyclotron installed in GIP Arronax [1], France. Nickel (Ni) electroplating is a promising and well documented route to manufacture targets for 61Cu and 64Cu production. However, several parameters must be optimized to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. This work studies approaches to adapt target fabrication for small clinical cyclotrons, providing information that can be used to produce Cu isotopes. It has been accomplished by both simulations and experimental trials.
