Production of the medical isotope 43,44Sc, 89Zr, and 186Re through Laguerre–Gaussian laser-induced (, ) reaction

Sc, Zr, and Re are medically relevant radioisotopes applicable for targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Conventionally, these isotopes are primarily produced using nuclear reactors and cyclotrons, which require large-scale facilities. In contrast, modern laser technology enables tabletop production of such isotopes via photonuclear reactions, offering a novel and promising alternative approach. Herein, we propose a method to produce these isotopes by driving photonuclear reactions with a circularly polarized Laguerre–Gaussian (CP-LG) laser. The interaction between the CP-LG laser and the dense hollow cylinder target generates an electron beam with energy exceeding 8 MeV and a charge of nearly 87 nC. The high-density pulse of relativistic electrons generated bombards an optimized tantalum converter, producing a high-flux Bremsstrahlung -ray source in the giant dipole resonance region with a yield of photons per shot. These -rays then irradiate parent targets (Sc, Zr, and Re) to yield the corresponding isotopes (Sc, Zr, and Re), with their activity meeting clinical PET and TRT requirements under 0.1–2.15 h of continuous irradiation at a 10 Hz repetition rate.

本研究では、円偏光Laguerre–Gaussian(CP-LG)レーザーを用いて、医療用同位体(43,44Sc, 89Zr, 186Re)を生成する新しい手法を提案しています。従来は大型の原子炉やサイクロトロンが必要でしたが、この方法では卓上サイズのレーザー装置で同位体を生産できます。CP-LGレーザーを中空円筒ターゲットに照射すると、8 MeV以上のエネルギーを持つ電子ビームが発生し、それをタンタルコンバーターに当てることで高フラックスの制動放射γ線が生成されます。このγ線を親ターゲットに照射することで、目的の同位体が得られます。10 Hzの繰り返し率で0.1~2.15時間連続照射することで、臨床PETや標的放射性核種治療に必要な放射能レベルに達します。
