[Isotope-prod] [EXTERNAL] Re: Experiment in the injector

[Pavel Degtiarenko]

Hi Jamal,

Our target was about 25 gram of gallium.

Will the samples with 0.1 - 1 microCi of Cu-67 still be useful to you?
George will compile for us some realistic estimates and parameters using 
the data from the first set of measurements, but the level of production 
at 50 W beam is certainly expected to be small.

Best regards,
Pavel
