Description

The fabrication of nuclear targets is a crucial and active field of study that advances research in nuclear physics and related disciplines. The effectiveness of measurements and the results of various nuclear experiments depend directly on the isotopic purity, surface homogeneity, and thickness consistency of these targets. These characteristics ensure the reliability of experimental data.
In this context, to meet the needs of nuclear physics experiments, GANIL has developed different types of targets, each with specific characteristics. This optimization involves studying various deposition techniques to precisely control the thickness and uniformity of thin films. In this framework, we propose to present fabrication methods for thin targets made of isotopic chromium, nickel, and ytterbium, as well as the analyses conducted on these targets, demonstrating an approach based on a systematic study of fabrication parameters to develop protocols for synthesizing homogeneous and pure targets.
