E907 Nuclear Targets - Target Wheel

Target List

(7/21/03)

The proposed target list for MIPP E907 from March 14, 2003 is here.

Jerry Peterson, U of Colorado, jerry.peterson@colorado.edu

Criteria: spherical nuclei, with no more than two dominant isotopes, spaced evenly in logA, the samples chosen for other high energy reaction studies.

All save the CD2 and its matching C and CH2 are 2 inches or 50 mm in diameter.

Thin Target Changer (a.k.a. Target Wheel)

(4/3/03)

The University of Colorado at Boulder is responsible for the target wheel. The UC Engineer Eric Erdos sent the drawing of the system holding the MIPP target wheel in place in the TPC alcove. It was built in the UC shop, taken to Femrilab unassembled.

(other formats: .dwg, .dxf, .eps, .pdf)

The basic idea is to hook a flange on the bolt circle at the upstream face of the vertical optical bench, holding 2 rods poking downstream to a plate. The rods are straight along z. The filter wheel mechanism is glued to this plate. The wheel will not be centered on the beam, since the target holes are off-axis.

The wheel is turned by an Acnet controlled motor mounted to the TPC table upstream of the TPC, outside the magnetic field of the JGG. The device is F:TGTWHL.
