Abstract
Disclosed herein is a high current solid target for radioisotope production at a cyclotron using a metal foam, and more specifically, a high current solid target for isotope production, which attaches a metal foam to the rear surface of the solid target plate. A high current solid target for isotope production including a metal foam according to the present invention may exhibit excellent cooling performances to increase the amount of proton beam current irradiated on the solid target compared to conventional planar-type solid targets. Because the irradiation of the increased proton beam current may increase the amount of an isotope produced per unit time and even an irradiation of proton beam in a short time may allow for production of a desired amount of an isotope, the solid target may be usefully used for production of medical cyclotron nuclides.
