Short Port Beamline


Exploded view of the “Short Port” Beamline.

 


The installed “Short Port” beamline with diagnostic target attached.

D-Pace has developed a very short (150 mm long) beamline known as the "Short Port" beamline. It enables users to mount custom high performance targets on their PET Cyclotrons.

Features

  • Designed for use on the General Electric PETtrace™ cyclotron. It can be adapted to other cyclotrons.
  • Provides more comprehensive diagnostic readback capabilities than are provided by most PET cyclotron manufacturers.
  • Enables mounting, and safer operation of custom high current targets.
  • Increases the level of beam current diagnostics which can be readback to a control system for beam tuning purposes.
  • Provides a means for custom PET targets to be mounted to commercial cyclotron exit ports.
  • Provides a vacuum valve between cyclotron exit port and target flange.
