Production of High Specific Activity 72 Se/ 72 As, 117m Sn and 203 Pb for Research and Clinical Applications: Effective target design, recycling of target material and radioisotope separation

This grant involved four objectives for producing high specific activity radionuclides using reactor and accelerator technologies that would find use in medical, industrial and research applications. This grant continued a collaboration between the scientists at the University of Washington (UW), the University of Missouri (MU) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and addresses the need for high specific activity radionuclides, both reactor- and accelerator-produced, and for the training and education of radiochemists in isotope production, separations and precursor syntheses. All three institutions were involved in the projects, but to different degrees. The chemistry graduate students (Ph.D. program at MU) may have participated in an internship at one of the other institutions for training and project translation/facilitation.

A Targeted Search for Point Sources of EeV Photons with the Pierre Auger Observatory

Simultaneous measurements of air showers with the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory allow a sensitive search for EeV photon point sources. Several Galactic and extragalactic candidate objects are grouped in classes to reduce the statistical penalty of many trials from that of a blind search and are analyzed for a significant excess above the background expectation. The presented search does not find any evidence for photon emission at candidate sources, and combined p -values for every class are reported. Particle and energy flux upper limits are given for selected candidate sources. These limits significantly constrain predictions of EeV proton emission models from non-transient Galactic and nearby extragalactic sources, as illustrated for the particular case of the Galactic center region.
