Measuring fusion excitation functions with RIBs using the stacked target technique: Problems and possible solutions

Measuring fusion excitation functions with RIBs using the stacked target technique: Problems and possible solutions

For measuring fusion excitation functions, the activation technique with a stack of targets offers the considerable advantage that several reaction energies may be simultaneously measured by using one beam energy. However, its main drawback is the degradation of the beam quality as it passes through...
