Jp. Greene et al., RADIOACTIVE TARGETS AND SOURCE DEVELOPMENT AT ARGONNE-NATIONAL-LABORATORY, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 334(1), 1993, pp. 101-110
An increased demand for low-level radioactive targets has created the
need for a laboratory dedicated to the production of these foils. A de
scription is given of the radioactive targets produced as well as sour
ce development work being performed at the Physics Division target fac
ility of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Highlights include equipme
nt used and the techniques employed. In addition, some examples of rec
ent source preparation are given as well as work currently in progress
.
