Gamma-Rays from Proton Bombardment of Separated Argon Isotopes

Abstract

ARGON targets can be prepared by bombarding silver disks with the separated beams of the argon isotopes in a mass-spectrograph. This technique has already been used in a study of the resonance capture of protons in the isotopes of neon1. The possibility of collecting argon atoms in a metal surface has previously been demonstrated2, and has recently been used as a method of producing samples of separated argon isotopes3.
