We investigate the feasibility of using laser accelerated protons/deuterons for positron emission tomography (PET) isotope production by means of the nuclear reactions 11 B(p, n) 11 C and 10 B(d, n) 11 C. The second reaction has a positive Q-value and no energy threshold. One can, therefore, make us
