Question:
Oxygen-15 is used in the medical procedure called positron emission tomography. This isotope is prepared on a cyclotron from irradiation of nitrogen-14 with deuterium nuclei. It decays to nitrogen-15 by positron emission, and the positrons are annihilated when they collide with electrons, forming two gamma rays. Write equations for the three reactions described here.
