✦ Synopsis

A non-destructive method was developed for assessing the average density of a small-volume water target during particle beam irradiation. Due to local boiling of the target water the particle beam penetrates through the target and further through the thin back wall of the target unit. The charged particle beam excites water molecules both in the target water and in the cooling water. A light guide was inserted into the target cooling water to transfer the light emitted during de-excitation to a photodiode which produced a voltage signal when the beam entered the cooling water. Beam current and target-water temperature were recorded simultaneously with the diode voltage signal. The light emitted in the target during irradiation was photographed through a glass window on the target. Photographic views of the target medium during irradiation are presented. Formation of voids in the beam path of the target was verified with the photographic technique.

The aim of this research is to observe phenomena inside of a H 2 18 O water target during the proton beam irradiation. We made a target unit which enabled to visualize and tested it by using a 30 MeV proton beam from a cyclotron at KIRAMS. In the case of a closed target system, we found that the bub

## Abstract The ^201^T1C1 solution is used in Nuclear Medicine for myocardial visualization. ^201^T1 is a cyclotron‐produced radioisotope, obtained indirectly from the decay of ^201^Pb or directly by irradiating mercury with protons. In this work, ^201^T1 was obtained by irradiating a natural mercu
