RI Applications Team performs following researches at the heavy ion accelerators of RIBF: (1) With protons from the RIKEN AVF Cyclotron, we produce radioisotopes for research of chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical and environmental sciences. The nuclides 65Zn, 109Cd and 88Y are delivered to Japan Radioisotope Association for fee-based distribution. We also study the production and application of short-lived RI's. (2) We develop new technologies of mass spectrometry for the trace-element analyses using accelerator technology and apply them to the scientific research fields, such as cosmochemistry, environmental science, archaeology and so on.
- Production of radioisotopes at AVF cyclotron
- Improvement of production procedures and R/D for new isotope production
- The development of trace element analysis, using the accelerator techniques, and its application to geo and environmental sciences
