    The MEDICIS facility is a unique facility located at CERN dedicated to the production of non-conventional radionuclides for research and development in medical imaging, diagnostics and radiation therapy. Located in a laboratory equipped to safely handle unsealed radioactive samples, it comprises a dedicated isotope separator beam line, a target irradiation station at the 1.4 GeV Proton...

    The therapeutic and diagnostic use of radionuclides is well known and widely applied in different techniques and pathologies. The efficacy of the treatments, as well as the off-target dose minimisation in both treatment and diagnosis depend, among other things, on the decay characteristics of the radionuclide in use. In particular, the different particles and radiation emitted, the emission...

    Radiation detected (RD) NMR is a sensitive and versatile experimental technique. It relies on the detection of asymmetric nuclear decay. For that, a high degree of nuclear polarisation beyond thermal equilibrium is required and multiple techniques are commonly used to achieve it. One specific case is the optical pumping method that works very well for alkali metals which is used at the VITO...

    Resonance laser ionization is an efficient and highly selective method for producing radioisotopes. In the laser ion source of the ISOLDE – RILIS (Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source), the laser interaction region is inside a metal tube, the so-called “hot cavity” which is heated to temperatures >2000 degrees Celsius. In addition to providing a longitudinally confining electrostatic...
