Description
For direct cross section measurements in nuclear astrophysics, in addition to suitable ion beams and detectors, also highly pure and stable targets are needed. Here, using a gas jet as a target offer an attractive approach that combines high stability even under significant beam load with excellent purity. Such a target is currently under construction at the Felsenkeller underground ion accelerator lab for nuclear astrophysics in Dresden, Germany. The target thickness will be measured by optical interferometry, allowing an in situ determination including also beam-induced effects. The contribution will report on the status of this new system and outline possible applications in nuclear astrophysics.
