Implementation of a secondary-ion tritium beam by means of the associated particle technique and its test on a gold target

In this work we present the implementation and characterization of a (secondary ion) tritium beam generated through the D(d,t)p reaction, at deuteron energies of 2.0 and 1.88MeV, tagging the tritium ions with the associated particle technique. In order to prove its utility as a projectile for scient...

Description
Summary:In this work we present the implementation and characterization of a (secondary ion) tritium beam generated through the D(d,t)p reaction, at deuteron energies of 2.0 and 1.88MeV, tagging the tritium ions with the associated particle technique. In order to prove its utility as a projectile for scientific applications, this beam was made to impinge on a thin gold target to observe expected elastic scattering events. •A new secondary ion tritium beam obtained through the D(d,t)3He reaction.•Tritium beam tagging by the associated particle technique.•A low energy Tritium beam without radiation contamination of equipment.•Tritium elastic scattering on gold.
