Production of α-particle emitting 211At using 45 MeV α-beam
@article{Kim2014ProductionO, title={Production of $\alpha$-particle emitting 211At using 45 MeV $\alpha$-beam}, author={Gyehong Kim and Kwon Soo Chun and Sung Ho Park and Byungil Kim}, journal={Physics in Medicine and Biology}, year={2014}, volume={59}, pages={2849 - 2860} }
Among the α-particle emitting radionuclides, 211At is considered to be a promising radionuclide for targeted cancer therapy due to its decay properties. The range of alpha particles produced by the decay of 211At are less than 70 µm in water with a linear energy transfer between 100 and 130 keV µm−1, which are about the maximum relative biological effectiveness for heavy ions. It is important to note that at the present time, only a few of cyclotrons routinely produce 211At. The direct…
