RESUMEN
Targets required to determine the parameters of the 100Mo(p,xn)99mTc reaction and to estimate the yield of the 99mTc production were prepared starting with powder material. Material, melted with electron beam gun into solid bead, was reshaped into foil mechanically. Targets were prepared by powder melting and hot flattening of the droplet followed by cold rolling. Procedure allowed preparation of thick (in the range of hundreds of microns) and thin (down to 250 nm) foils.
RESUMEN
The designed and constructed at the University of Lodz an electron spectrometer is devoted to "in-beam" measurements. The apparatus is characterized by high efficiency up to 9%, good energy resolution (FWHM = 5 keV at 482 keV) and, what is very important good suppression of delta electrons, positrons, and photons emitted by the targets. This achievement was obtained using a combination of magnetic field in two different layouts: perpendicular and parallel to the axis of the spectrometer being orthogonal to the beamline. The conversion-electron spectrometer coupled to the EAGLE array was successfully tested in an "in-beam" measurement.
