Abstract
Neutron-rich isotopic 14C targets are of interest to the nuclear physics community and would be in high demand at any thickness. Applied Nanotech, Inc. (ANI) has developed freestanding natC and 13C carbon foils fabricated using a drawdown printing technique. Isotopic enriched 13C targets are produced at ANI, with the 14C targets to be fabricated at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) using stock material available at Argonne. The 14C target material is nominally enriched to ~73% 14C and will contain 2.2% organic binder. The fabrication process is highly material-efficient and can be used to produce targets that are difficult to fabricate by other methods. Also to be developed, 12C (13C-depleted natural carbon) which could also be used in accelerators for target applications.
