6 - Target Characterization
Invited
The characterization of targets before, after as well as if possible during irradiation, is essential for the success of experiments in nuclear physics and the accuracy of the results (for example for cross-section measurements). The relevant parameters such as absolute thickness, homogeneity of the layer, variation across the active area, purity of the target have to be determined and...

6 - Target Characterization
Oral
Intense electromagnetic fields generated by tightly focused, energetic and short laser pulses are amenable to accelerate charged particles across just a few hundred micrometers to MeV energies. Laser driven electron and ion acceleration is a very effective approach to generate high number particle bunches with short duration and excellent emittance, though typically a broad energy spectrum and...

6 - Target Characterization
Oral
For characterization of targets and foils prepared at the target laboratory as well as for characterization of e.g. degrader or windows of internal customers different analytical devices are available. Besides a lot of standard the target laboratory of GSI holds a 3D-measurement system (MicroProf®) equipped with optical sensors for measuring surface parameter as well as total thickness...
