The assembly has a support shaft for tubular target arranged in a support construction. A detachable coupling arrangement is provided between the shaft and target for replacement of the target. A coaxial spacer and two separation points (32) are arranged between the shaft and target. The separation points produce a torque proof and rigid connection between the shaft and spacer, and a detachable connection between the spacer and target.
