Abstract

To carry out the experiments with radioactive beams at the ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator in the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, a complex of cryogenic thin physical targets with isotopes H2, D2, T2, 3He, and 4He is being created for the gas, liquid, and solid phase (for hydrogen). One of the three types of cryotargets created for nonhazardous gases in any phase at a temperature of 11–30 K is described. Requirements to the targets are formulated. A variety of available cells are presented, a concept of safe operation with the solid phase of hydrogen is given, and the gas–vacuum test bench for its implementation is described.
