  • Abstract
    Since 1997 design studies have been in progress in a joint collaboration between the Korea Cancer Center Hospital (KCCH) and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) for a 13 MeV PET (Positron Emission Tomography) cyclotron. It will accelerate H- (negatively charged hydrogen) ions, which, after acceleration, will be stripped of its electrons by a stripping foil and then, on entering the target chamber, interact with the target material to produce positron emitters such as 18F, 15O, 13N and 11C. In this paper we describe the main features of the cyclotron
