Thin-window gas cell target for activation cross-section measurements relevant for nuclear astrophysics

A thin-window gas target system was designed in order to fulfill the requirements of the measurement of low energy α-induced reaction cross-sections relevant for nuclear astrophysics using the activation method. The properties of the gas cell system, its characterization and the results of the first...

Description
Summary:A thin-window gas target system was designed in order to fulfill the requirements of the measurement of low energy α-induced reaction cross-sections relevant for nuclear astrophysics using the activation method. The properties of the gas cell system, its characterization and the results of the first feasibility studies on the He3(α,γ)Be7 and Xe124(α,γ)Ba128 reactions are summarized.
