¹¹C-methane production in small volume, high pressure gas targets

Abstract

The parameters affecting the production of 11 C-methane, in situ, in small volume, high-pressure gas targets include target chamber size and material. The results are based on experiments that varied the target gas composition, the target material and geometry. Methane production yields were typically 65% of the yields of 11 CO 2 in the same target chamber.
