Physics Division Accelerator Target Laboratory

"A unique asset of the ANL program is their target manufacturing capabilities.
This expertise at ANL allows highly specialized targets to be prepared
for various beam experiments at many laboratories. It is important that
these capabilities be maintained given the continuing demands for such targets."

Report of the NSAC Subcommittee on Low Energy Nuclear Physics, November 15, 2001

The Physics Division operates a target development laboratory that produces targets and foils of various thickness and substrates, depending on the requirements for experiments performed at the ATLAS and Dynamitron accelerators. The targets are prepared from both naturally occurring materials and stable isotopes, which are supplied, either in pure, elemental form, or as stable compounds. Targets are made not only for the Physics Division but also for other divisions at the Laboratory and occasionally for other laboratories and universities.
