Description
This contribution highlights the importance of targetry in nuclear physics and astrophysics experiments. Three different stages are described: 1) production, purification and characterization of starting materials, with a concise description of the opportunity offered by PSI in this respect; 2) target manufacture, with emphasis on the last developments obtained at PSI; 3) characterization of final targets. The effects of each stage on the result of nuclear experiments, such as neutron cross sections measurements, is addressed.
