Abstract

Multi-layer thin targets are vital in low-energy nuclear physics experiments employing the use of accelerated beams. In this paper, we describe the fabrication of encapsulated calcium targets produced by evaporation on gold and lead backings for radioactive beam experiments at TRIUMF’s ISAC-II facility.
