Low energy (<12 MeV protons) cyclotrons are playing an increasingly important role in isotope production especially the production of short-lived medical isotopes for positron emission tomography (PET). Several new target systems have been designed for the negative ion 11 MeV proton only CTI RDS 111 medical cyclotron. These targets have been developed for the turret target changer system which can hold up to eight small targets that are rotated into the beam strike for irradiation. We report here the development and testing of a high pressure [{sup 18}F]F{sub 2} gas target, the performance of an OEM (CTI) high pressure [{sup 11}C]CO{sub 2} gas target and the design and irradiation of the first RDS 111 solid target for the production of {sup 7}Be.
