Outline of Final Research Achievements

A portable alpha-ray spectrum survey meter was developed and improved. A 2000 mm^2 ion-implanted silicon with an aluminum honeycomb structure was adopted for the detector. As a result, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was 123 keV and the full width at tenth maximum (FWTM) was 247 keV for electrodeposited Am-241 source, so it is possible to identify the 800 keV difference in alpha -ray energy between Ac-225 and Ra-226. In addition, it was suggested that the tailing effect of alpha-rays emitted from Ac-225 and progenies could be suppressed by adding a collimator, and Ra-226 mixed with Ac-225 could be detected. This measuring instrument is highly effective for use in the field of alpha-nuclide production and simplifies the identification method of alpha-nuclides.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年前立腺がん治療薬としても承認されたα核種を用いた核医学治療は、従来の治療に比べ治療効果を望めることから、今後さらなるα核種治療薬の開発や使用量の拡大が予想される。一方で、治療薬の使用や放射線管理にあたっては、α線は専用の測定器が必要で装置が大型で汎用性に欠け、真空状態での使用が必要といった課題があった。この装置は、空気中でα核種の放射能量と核種弁別が可能となった。さらに、コリメータ付加と筐体素材検討により、空気中でのエネルギー分解能100 keV程度で重量も軽量である。
従来のα線放出核種の同定法を大きく簡便化するものであり、α核種製造現場での使用が期待される。
