Abstract:
A device for quick connection of a target arrangement for radioisotope production to a cyclotron accelerator producing an ion beam for irradiating said target, comprising:a target body consisting of a first target body portion, a second target body portion and a third target body portion, the first target body portion presenting a first target space for introduction of a target medium to be irradiated by the ion beam from the cyclotron accelerator, a first separation window separating the first target space in the first target body portion from a second internal space portion in the second target body portion, a second separation window separating the second internal space in the second target body portion from a third internal space in the third target body portion being in communication with the vacuum space of the cyclotron, the third body portion forming a bayonet fitting fixable to a corresponding bayonet fitting, which is fixed to the cyclotron vacuum casing at a position for extracting the ion beam, whereby the corresponding bayonet fitting also constitutes an insulating member.
