S. Bultmann et al., PROPERTIES OF THE DEUTERATED TARGET MATERIAL USED BY THE SMC, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 356(1), 1995, pp. 102-105
The target material used in the SMC experiment NA47 at the CERN SPS is
described. The arguments for selecting the material are given and the
problems of the production and their solutions are presented. Relevan
t properties with respect to the scattering experiment are discussed a
nd parameters like polarization build-up rate and relaxation times are
highlighted.
