Using the method of reduction/distillation1, one can prepare high purity films of robust and ductile calcium metal for use as targets in nuclear physics experiments. These targets however are extremely air-sensitive and procedures must be developed for their handling and use without exposure to air2. In addition, the low natural abundance of the isotope Ca-48 provides an increased incentive...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is the only collider in the world to collide polarized protons. It is critical to the experimental program that the polarization of the proton beam is measured in RHIC. This is accomplished with the Coulomb Nuclear Interference (CNI) polarimeter. The targets used in the RHIC CNI polarimeter are 50 nm thick, 25...

The synthesis of heavier elements is one of the prime area of research in experimental and theoretical nuclear physics experiments. Using 48Ti as a projectile, we have planned to carry out the study of ER cross-section and spin distribution of ERs on isotopic 142,150Nd lanthanide targets using HYRA spectrometer [1]. Fabrication of thin self supporting targets is highly difficult. But, due to...

Self-supporting beryllium (9Be) targets were produced by mechanical rolling method in which a double pack technique was implemented. Targets were used for the investigation of the low-lying excitation energy region in 9Be through the 9Be(3He,t)9B reaction at the K600 spectrometer, at iThemba LABS facility. Beryllium is a semimetal in nature and this makes it hard to deform by rolling...
