✦ Synopsis

A reliable, reproducible method has been developed for the in situ production of decicurie quantities of [13N]ammonia by proton irradiation of pressurized, dilute aqueous solutions of acetic acid and ethanol. Some of the parameters investigated for their effect on the 13N product distribution included dose, dose rate, solute concentration, target body material, beam strike volume and proton energy. For the conditions investigated, [13N]NH3 was produced directly in the target in yields greater than 75%.

A simple double liquid chamber target was developed to provide the option for simultaneous production of [15O]H2O and either 13N or 18F using a single proton beam. Irradiation of natural water in a thin aluminium front chamber produced [15O]H2O by the 16O(p, pn)15O reaction directly. Large (0.5-1.0
