The Solid Target

Beam Line Components

  • exit beam pipe window: 125um Kapton
  • distance from exit beam pipe window and target: ~3cm
  • distance from lead target to entrance He bag: ~1cm
  • entrance and exit window He bag: 50um aluminized mylar

Routine Operation

There is no remote control for the target. Changing configuration (i.e. changing cap type or cap position) requires an access and a manual change and will be performed by experts.

Note: Documentation of original Hall D target in 2014 can be found in the deprecated pages Solid Target Shift Original
