In this work we present the new target assembly developed for solid samples irradiation by protons with different energies at maximum of 11 MeV and 40 μA for current. The new target was designed and manufactured for conventional target changer (carousel) of 11 MeV Eclipse RD medical cyclotron. The MCNP simulation of the beam profile after degradation was performed and testing irradiation of the target assembly was successfully carried out showing the target suitability for such type of cyclotron facilities.
