The objective of the doctoral thesis is to study whether the acceleration of laser-induced particles can be a competitive option for the production of positron-emitting radiotracers. To do this, an experimental work is proposed using the laser of the Laboratorio Láser de Aceleración y Aplicaciones (L2A2) of the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. This work will consist of putting into operation the necessary technology to accelerate a sufficient and continuous amount of protons or deuterons with energies of up to 10 MeV.
