System of Cryogenic Physical Targets for the ACCULINNA-2 Facility

Abstract

To carry out the experiments with radioactive beams at the ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, a complex of cryogenic thin physical targets with isotopes H₂, D₂, T₂, ³He, and ⁴He is being created for the gas, liquid, and solid phase (for hydrogen). One of the three types of cryotargets created for nonhazardous gases in any phase at a temperature of 11–30 K is described. Requirements to the targets are formulated. A variety of available cells are presented, a concept of safe operation with the solid phase of hydrogen is given, and the gas–vacuum test bench for its implementation is described.
