Abstract.

A new measurement of the cross section of 7Be(p,\( \gamma\))8B will be done in inverted kinematics with the recoil separator ERNA at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta, Italy. The 8B recoils will be produced in a windowless hydrogen gas target. We report here on the construction and characterization of the gas cell. In detail we describe measurements for target density, the profile determination via the 7Li(p, p’)7Li* reaction as well as the role and performance of a gaseous post-stripper.
