Natural and enriched Cr target development for production of Manganese-52
Abstract 52Mn is a promising PET radiometal with a half-life of 5.6 days and an average positron energy of 242 keV. Typically, chromium of natural isotope abundance is used as a target material to produce this isotope through the nat/52Cr(p,n)52Mn reaction. While natural Cr is a suitable target mate...
