摘要：

Mather type plasma focus device with the bank energy of 115 kJ (40 kV, 144 mu F) was studied for induced activity of N-13; a short-lived radioisotope beta(+) emitter with 511 keV of gamma rays and has a half-life of t(1/2) = 9.93 min through C-12 (d, n)N-13 nuclear reaction. N-13 radioisotope is used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for imaging and treatment. In this paper endogenous production of N-13 is considered. It is shown by adding 3-4 % CH4 to the chamber, the induced activity of N-13 has increased about 4 %. Our study is representative of producing 10(6) - 10(9) Bq induced activity of this SLR in IR-MPF-100 device.
