A procedure to prepare monoisotopic cesium compound targets for gamma-spect
roscopic experiments is described. Using this procedure, uniform targets up
to thicknesses of 0.6-1.2 mg/cm(2) were prepared and used for in-beam spec
troscopic studies. The purity of the target was tested by energy dispersive
X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) measurements. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. Al
