Description

Nuclear reactions on hydrogen CH2 or CD2 targets in inverse kinematics are extensively used with radioactive beams. This is the case, for example, for transfer reactions or resonant elastic scattering. Cryogenic targets may be used to improve the luminosity and remove the contribution of C atoms. However, for low incident beam energies, the thickness of the cryogenic target is a crucial parameter to achieve the detection of the reaction products. The aim of the CHyMENE project is first to produce a thin target in the 50-100µm range by a continuous extrusion technique. A film of solid hydrogen flows in a given plane (perpendicular to the beam axis in our case) and will be evacuated after irradiation. No additional Mylar-type window will be used.
