HYDROGEN AND CARBON TARGET PREPARATION FOR A POSITIVE ION ACCELERATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4078532
A detailed description is given of the techniques used to make hydrogen and carbon targets for a 2-Mev positive ion accelemtor. The hydrogen targets were made by adsorbing deuterium or tritium onto titanium or zirconium metals. Two methcds, evaporation and sintering, were used for mounting the adsorbing metal on a platinum or tantalum backing disk. Target thickness ranged from 200 to 15,000 mu g/cm/sup 2/. Typical atomic ratios of 1 to 1 were obtained. Carbon targets were made by mounting carbon on a platinum backing disk in three ways: evaporation, painting, and cracking. Target thickness ranged from 100 to 5000 mu g/ cm/sup 2/. (auth)
