Isotopes Production from Ucx Target for the Spes Project

The study of an optimal solution for an Exotic Beam target system using a high intensity (up to 10 mA) proton primary beam impinging on an UCx Target is reported in the framework of the SPES Project of Legnaro INFN Laboratories (Italy).

Two different topologies on the production Targets using a low energy primary beam (E<50 MeV) have been considered: The 1-Step configuration (primary beam direct on UCx Target device) and the 2-Steps one (beam impinging a neutron converter, followed by an UCx Target). In both configurations Isotopes Fragments Yields and Spectra Shape have been studied as a function of the primary beam energy.
