[1M06] Dependence of W-derived photons and MoO3-derived photons on W thickness

*Jaewoong Jang1, Mitsuru Uesaka1 (1. Univ. of Tokyo)

Keywords:Mo-99/Tc-99m, bremsstrahlung, electron linear accelerator, PHITS, phitar

In order to improve the 99Mo production yield of a W-MoO3 target system, photon generation at a W converter and photon generation at a MoO3 target were investigated as functions of the W thickness. The two separate sets of results were then analyzed to find the W thicknesses that lead to improved 99Mo yields.
