Target preparation by the precipitation method for nuclear reactions

A technique for preparing nuclear reaction targets of various thicknesses was developed by using common filtration technique of hydroxide precipitates with a porous Al 2O 3 membrane filter. Uniformity was found to be within a few % in each thickness. Durability for beam irradiation was also confirme...

More Information
Summary:A technique for preparing nuclear reaction targets of various thicknesses was developed by using common filtration technique of hydroxide precipitates with a porous Al 2O 3 membrane filter. Uniformity was found to be within a few % in each thickness. Durability for beam irradiation was also confirmed. The preparation procedure is convenient and the method is appropriate for several target materials, including not only precious materials but also radioactive materials with low contamination.
