Utilization of (p, 4n) reaction for <Superscript>86</Superscript>Zr production with medium energy protons and development of a <Superscript>86</Superscript>Zr → <Superscript>86</Superscript>Y radionuclide generator

Utilization of (p, 4n) reaction channel for the production of medical radionuclides became very attractive with commercial availability of medium energy cyclotrons. Significantly higher yields and radionuclidic purity may open new perspectives for several novel and some of the radionuclides previously have not been considered due to production difficulties. In present work, we show the proof-of-principle study on the production of ⁸⁶Y for Positron Emission Tomography imaging via radionuclide generator ⁸⁶Zr → ⁸⁶Y. Production suitability of ⁸⁶Zr from natural yttrium target and radiochemical separation strategies were tested. In addition, two generator systems were proposed and evaluated.     

On summability of Fourier coefficients of functions from Lebesgue space

In this paper we state new theorems of Hardy–Littlewood type for functions with general monotone Fourier coefficients. Sharpness of stated results is discusses.
