A liquid hydrogen/deuterium target is used at COSY of the FZ-Juelich in the external experiments TOF, GEM and MOMO. The combination of 1mm diameter beam from COSY with the small target provides the necessary very well defined interaction vertex within few mm"3. The target liquid is made on a cooled condenser and guided through a central tube assist...

Neutron spectra were measured at the GSI heavy ion accelerator using the Bonner sphere spectrometer NEMUS. The irradiation experiments were carried out at Cave A, an experimental area at the GSI heavy ion synchrotron SIS. A 400 MeV/u carbon ion beam impinging on a thick graphite target was used as neutron source. Spectral distributions were determi...
The HERMES hydrogen and deuterium nuclear-polarized gas targets have been in use since 1996 with the polarized electron beam of HERA at DESY to study the spin structure of the nucleon. Polarized atoms from a Stern-Gerlach Atomic Beam Source are injected into a storage cell internal to the HERA electron ring. Atoms diffusing from the center of the s...
The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule (GDH) relates the difference of the total absorption cross section of circularly polarized photons on parallelly and anti-parallelly polarized nucleons to their well known quantities mass and anomalous magnetic moment. For the experimental examination of the sum rule experiments were performed in two different con...
Within the megawatt pilot experiment (MEGAPIE) to be conducted at the Paul-Scherrer Institute (PSI) the feasibility of a lead-bismuth alloy cooled target for spallation purposes will be demonstrated. Such types of liquid metal cooled targets are under consideration for various concepts of accelerator driven systems (ADS) aimed to transmute nuclear ...
