Abstract

A method for pressing powders or fine granular substances into thin rotatable targets for use in dispersed-beam accelerator experiments is described. As an example, samples of Li₂S with a diameter of 1.9 cm and a thickness of 21 mg/cm² have been produced and successfully tested with a 22 μA beam of 305 MeV electrons. The method should be useful for a number of other materials.
