Abstract

A method for improving the production of the radioisotope <superscript>123</superscript>I in proton cyclotrons, which makes it possible to increase its technological yield by 2–3 times, is reported. For this purpose, it is proposed to introduce hydrogen into a target with <superscript>124</superscript>Xe, which makes it possible to extract from it the <superscript>123</superscript>I formed over the irradiation time on decay of the accumulated <superscript>123</superscript>Xe.
