Supersonic gas Jet target for nuclear physics experiments

A supersonic gas jet target for nuclear physics experiments was designed and constructed at the Institute of physics in Mexico city. Systems like this have been developed and successfully performed in the past. Such a target is indestructible regardless of the accelerator beam intensity, this target best resembles an ideal one, it has a high density in a well defined space region, taking all the beam an accelerator can give without changing the target. This allows for low count rate experiments (such as astrophysical ones to be performed in a reasonable amount of time and also experiments with gases that cannot be conveniently mixed into a solid and placed inside a scattering chamber, such as in the case of noble gases.A gas cell would make the beam interact with the cells windows, which can get damaged or destroyed under high accelerators current and introduce spurious reactions from the windows material, making some experiments unpractical. The design itself allows for it to be continually upgraded while keeping it functional, allowing us to perform more ambitious experiments in the future. Details on the design and construction of the system and the on first performed experiments (Air, Nitrogen and Argon) will be given
