N. Kalantarnayestanaki et al., THIN SYNTHETIC WINDOWS FOR CRYOGENIC TARGETS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 417(2-3), 1998, pp. 215-219
A liquid hydrogen/deuterium target with very thin windows made out of
synthetic foils is described. The target has been used for nuclear phy
sics experiments in medium-energy proton and alpha beams. Thin foils h
ave been selected to allow low-energy particles to get out of the targ
et and to have very little background from target-window material. The
foils have been tested under different pressures and temperatures. Th
e permeability of some of the foils was monitored with these variation
s. The foils were also tested for radiation resistance by placing them
in the beam. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
