Which consequence results when accelerator's beam current fluctuates?

💡 Explanation

A fluctuating beam causes the isotope production rate to vary because the rate depends directly on the number of particles impacting the target, following a Poisson distribution; therefore unstable isotope yield, rather than other accelerator properties, occurs.
