Stage 1: Bombarding RaCl2 target with high energy protons |
Steps | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Vary proton energy | Vary RaCl2 target thickness | Find optimum conditions to produce Ac-225 |
|
Stage 2: Bombarding several materials with neutrons to generate high energy protons found in the optimum condition for stage 1 |
Steps | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Vary neutron energy | Vary material type and thickness | Find optimum conditions to generate high energy protons |
|
Stage 3: Combining results from stages 1 & 2 to simulate two hollow cylinders: the inner cylinder is a proton-producing target, and the outer cylinder is RaCl2 to produce Ac-225 |
Steps | 1 | 2 | |
| Proton production (n,p) | Ac-225 production (p,2n) | |
