Accelerator Applications What we have done so far What we plan to do next First thoughts on EuCARD3
EuCARD-2 is co-funded by the partners and the European Commission under Capacities 7th Framework Programme, Grant Agreement 312453
Accelerator Applications
>30000 accelerators already in use around the World Annual sales: >$3.5B Annual product, etc, sales: >$0.5T Fit into a few broad categories:
• Energy• Environment• Healthcare• Industry• Security and defence• Research

Use GalInStaNGa In Sn eutectic.
15 degrees melting point.Much higher thermal
conductivity.Not yet tested with a beam.
Tested using Dynamitron accelerator in Birmingham, UK.
Workshops so far
Dynamitron: 1.5mA at 3 MeV: 4.5 kW 65 MW/m2 achieved – good for cooling tests Upgrade to 15 mA possible Liquid lithium target Best facility for neutron irradiation studies in
the UK Possibility for TNA in “EuCARD3”?

Compact Muon Accelerators for Radioisotope Production – 26th to 27th March 2015
Some outcomes:- Need for both “big” central facilities…..
- ….and small, hospital based (mainly for PET)- Future supply of 99mTc either is or isn’t a problem
or both - Supply of therapeutic isotopes needs improvement - Various new technologies
- Possible topic for inclusion in “EuCARD3”
