Deuterium track-sensitive target in a hydrogen bubble chamber

The possibility of deuterium target applications in hydrogen medium is studied. This work is aimed at choosing the operating parameters for a deuterium-hydrogen system and determining the main requirements of a target design. Required target wall thickness is calculated. Optical distortions due to hydrogen convection around the target are evaluated. The principal scheme for deuterium target placed in hydrog.en bubble chamber is given and the basic relations to calculate the elements of target expanded joint are obtained. The study shows the feasibility of technical implementation of track-sensitive target within the selected working parameters and it can serve as a base for design development
