The target laboratory at GSI consists of about 200 m² conventional laboratory space and about 80 m² of laboratory space with an allowance for the handling of depleted 238U and 238UF4. The laboratories are situated in a technical building, which was put in operation in the 1970ies. Because of major refurbishing of the whole building the conventional laboratories have to move to a new space.

This contribution presents the separation of 7Be from the cooling water of the Spallation Neutron Source at the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland, followed by the preparation and characterization of 7Be targets. These targets were used in two independent and successful experiments at n_TOF-CERN and at SARAF facilities for the measurement of the 7Be(n,α)4He cross section in the energy range...

In nuclear physics experiments, thin (1-10 mg/cm2) self-supporting foils are required either as a target or as a backing for real target. The rolling method of making such thin self-supporting foils is cost effective and yields more mechanically strong foil than obtained with any other available technique. The targets made by rolling method, due to their crystalline structure are stronger in...

In the first phase of exploitation of SPIRAL-2, the LINAG beams will be delivered to the NFS (Neutrons For Science) and S3 (Super Separator Spectrometer) experimental halls. These instrumentations were designed according to the Letters of Intent submitted by a large physics community [1]. With S3, special emphasis is on the study of rare nuclei, such as superheavy elements and...
