Abstract
|
|
|
|
The KOTRON-13 cyclotron was manufactured by Samyoung Unitech as the second generation of the KIRAMS-13 cyclotron after its technology was transferred from the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences in South Korea. Its prototype was installed at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital as part of a distributed network of regional cyclotrons with the support of a grant from the National Research Foundation of Korea. However, its initial condition has limited capacity to extract a relatively low beam current and to produce carbon-11. In this review, we provide an introduction and overview of the current state of the KOTRON-13 cyclotron, which was successfully upgraded by carrying out various modifications and optimizing the carbon-11 target system.
