Abstract

A rapid pneumatic transport system used for cyclotron internal irradiations is described. The system permits entry into the cyclotron vacuum tank of a target carrier which is adaptable to solids, liquids or gases. Tests with helium, nitrogen and argon carrier gases were carried out. Transit times of less than 200 ms over an 8 m flight path are comfortably achieved using 15 g target carriers.
