Description
Natural ruthenium targets were needed for a measurement of the excitation function and cross sections using a high energetic proton beam. The experiment aims for a stacked target setup with monitor foils and offline counting of the activation using high purity germanium detectors. The optimal thickness and size of the target of 2 - 2.5centimeters in diameter and 20 – 100 micrometers (at maximal density) required tests of several methods. We will inform about failed approaches and our final solution to the problem in this presentation.
