Abstract

A three-stage differentially pumped and recirculating gas target system has been constructed as a compact and movable unit. The specifications and features of the system as well as some applications are described.

    First, to achieve optimum mass separation it is desirable that all the recoils originate from the same point. Gas jet targets extend only a few millimeters [5] providing nearly ideal conditions for the ion optics, as opposed to extended gas targets that extend a few centimeters [6]. Second, the small dimensions of a jet make gamma ray angular distribution measurements possible, given appropriately placed gamma ray detectors around the gas target.
