Evaluation of thin metal foils as targets and windows for heavy-ion experiments

  • 1. California Univ., Berkeley (USA). Lawrence Berkeley Lab.

Description

The mechanical limits of thin metal foils were studied under conditions which simulated heavy-ion beam experiments. The properties of He and N2 as cooling gases were evaluated; helium was found to be superior to nitrogen in all cases. The most durable foils were found to be molybdenum and tantalum. (orig.)
