Gold nanoparticles production using reactor and cyclotron based methods in assessment of 196,198Au production yields by 197Au neutron absorption for therapeutic purposes

This figure describes gold nanoparticles production via cyclotron based method. The aim of investigating is to estimate activity and saturation yield of 197Au(n,γ)198Au and 197Au(n,2n)196Au reactions using Karaj cyclotron available in Iran. The feasibility of a cyclotron-driven production of βeta-emitting radioisotopes was investigated for therapeutic applications via a new neutron activator design.73
