- Abstract
A series of frozen xenon targets of thicknesses ranging between 1 and 15 mg/cm were characterised by elastic backscattering technique using a 3 MeV proton beam. Xenon was kept solid on a gold substrate having a thickness of 1 g/cm which was mounted on a cold copper finger. The temperature of targets during the experiment was maintained at 55 K by a compact solid nitrogen sublimation system under pressure of 10 mbar. Targets were used in series of experiments for populating samarium and gadolinium isotopes in the Xe (O, Xn) and Xe (Ne, Xn) nuclear reactions.
