Abstract
The fundamental requirements of production target systems are much the same for all accelerators: They must provide with boring regularity, predictably sufficient amounts of radionuclide of consistently satisfactory quality and quantity. The details of the methods by which these goals are achieved varies with the beam energy and current capabilities of the cyclotron, the types of particles accelerated, and other factors.
