Laboratory of RadiochemistryLRC

The Laboratory of Radiochemistry focuses on fundamental research and on education in the field of radiochemistry. The three research groups explore the chemistry of heavy elements, study the radionuclide inventory in beam targets of large scale irradiation facilities, provide novel radionuclides for future medical applications, and investigate the chemical behaviour of radionuclides in liquid metals proposed as target material or coolant in future nuclear facilities.

Research Groups

The LRC encompasses the following Research Groups:

Heavy Elements

teaser heavy
Development of fast chemical methods for the investigation of superheavy elements. We perform radiochemical studies with the heaviest elements of the periodic table. This research focuses on the investigation of deviations of chemical properties induced by the high nuclear charge in the atoms of the superheavy elements. The developed methods are instrumental to the discovery of new isotopes of superheavy elements and to the determination of their nuclear decay properties.

Isotope and Target Chemistry ITC

teaser itc
Investigation and exploitation of activated material. Isotope and Target Chemistry (ITC) is a research group that deals not only with the study of the radioactive content of activated material and the physico-chemical behaviour of radionuclides therein, but is also focused on separation of rare exotic radionuclides needed in different scientific research fields like astrophysics, environmental research, fundamental nuclear physics and others.

Radionuclide Development

RND resample
Development of radionuclides for innovative radiopharmaceuticals. Using PSI's cyclotrons and spallation neutron source (SINQ), the joint group of LCH and CRS provides novel, commercially not available radionuclides for future diagnosis and therapy of cancer, which, subsequently, are tested in pre-clinical trials.

LRC Annual Reports

The Annual Reports of the LRC contain accounts of ongoing scientific research and provide an overview of the variety of topics investigated in our laboratory. Until 2015, they comprise results achieved within the former Laboratory for Radio- and Environmental Chemistry (LCH).
