5 F as Positron Emitter Nuclear Stability in General F as Positron Emitter Emission Nuclear Stability of a positron in General (ß + -particle) - atomic number decreases by one unit - mass number remains unchanged - typical for nuclides with excess of protons - internal conversion of a proton into a neutron (+ positron + neutrino) ß + Decay: p( nucleus ) n( nucleus + e + ν ) - formation of a neutrino is required from the Laws of the conservation of the spin and energy - similar process like the ß - -decay - emission of a neutrino 1 0 5

6 F as Positron Emitter Emission of a positron (ß + -particle) Annihilation of a positron - a positron is not stable and reacts immediately with an electron under formation of two γ-quants - transformation of matter into energy - no ß + -spectra are measured - instead of this, two γ-quants with distinct energy ( 500 kev) can be detected (E = m c 2 ) - the angle between the quants is exactly 0 Production of F in a cyclotron Nuclear reaction: Target: Proton energy: Irradiation time: O (p,n) F O-enriched water MeV 2 h Cyclotron 6
