Description
Summary:The reliable availability of isotopic boron targets has gained in importance concerning light ion reactions withing the realm of nuclear astrophysics research and remain somewhat elusive. An exhaustive approach was undertaken via electron beam evaporation to produce self-supporting and backed targets spanning quite a few isotopic samples across several suppliers, resulting only in limited success. Details of the extensive sample preparation procedures undertaken, and the experimental deposition techniques explored will be presented.
