Laser Ionization of Lanthanides in Preparation of the CERN MEDICIS-PROMED project — •Vadim Gadelshin1,2, Thomas Cocolios3, Piet Van Duppen3, Bruce Marsh4, Yisel Martinez Palenzuela3, 4, Sebastian Rothe4, Thierry Stora4, Dominik Studer1, and Klaus Wendt1 — 1Institut für Physik, University of Mainz — 2Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg — 3IKS, KU Leuven — 4EN Department, CERN
The MEDICIS-PROMED Project is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) under the EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions within EU H2020. In the framework of the CERN knowledge transfer program "Physics for Health Initiatives" it aims to develop a scientific network, exchange and active cooperation between physicists and physicians from European universities and medical institutions with CERN in the field of personalized cancer treatments by providing and testing novel radioisotopes for diagnostics and treatment. The project will apply a dedicated off-line mass separator at CERN's ISOLDE facility for selection of the innovative radiopharmaceuticals, and aims to involve a resonance ionization laser ion source (RILIS) for ensuring highest efficiency and purity of the radioactive ion beams. At Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz the optical ionization processes for the primarily envisaged lanthanide elements are investigated and preparations for the development of a specialized, highly automated laser system are ongoing. A future transfer towards application at compact hospital-based medical cyclotrons and accelerators for enhancement of specific radioisotope production efficiency and purity is envisaged.
