Abstract

We describe the construction and operation of a liquid hydrogen and deuterium target which has proved useful in experiments with the 1 GeV electron linac of the Ecole Normale Supérieure. The essential features of the target are its relative simplicity of construction and ease of operation. In particular, the facility of filling and emptying the target appendix is provided by remote control with a switching time of about five seconds. Three successful experiments have been completed with the use of this target.

A cryogenic liquid deuterium target has been constructed for use in the production of a “monoenergetic” neutron beam by the D(p,n) 2p reaction. The cryostat is refrigerated by liquid helium which is continuously transferred to the cryostat at low rates $(≈ 1.0 1 h)$ . When used with protons of energies between approximately 20 and 50 MeV, the peak in the neutron energy spectrum lies in the energy range 18 to 47 MeV. The neutron beam is used in an experimental program measuring neutron cross sections.
