Hall C Target Configuration
For October 2007
David Meekins
The following table gives a list of target positions and materials. (Listed BDS positions are pre corrections for cryo and vacuum motion). The home position will NOT remove the entire target stack from the beam.
The following table gives the target foil position, thicknesses and chemical purities.

Error in thickness is from measurement of area and mass only. Outside thickness (measured with micrometers) variations in the foils are less than the reported error. Error also does not include possible voids in materials.
Fluid Targets
There are three loops, each with two cells, on the current cryotarget stack. The loop 1 is configured with two 15 cm conflat style cells, the lower of which has a copper bremsstrahlung radiator attached to the front. Loops 2 and 3 are configured with a new helicoflex style gasket on the exit window side of the block. The upper cell on each block is 4 cm and the lower cell is 20 cm. The 20 cm cell is offset 38.39 mm downstream to accommodate large angle scattering. Note that the 20 cm dummy also has this same offset. The following table give the cell and radiator thicknesses for each position on the stack. All cells are made of Al 7075-T6 aluminum alloy.

Optics Targets
The optics target has 3 positions. The first position has 3 foils on each at z = ± 7.5 cm and 0; the second has positions at z = ± 2 cm; the third has positions at z = ± 3.8 cm. The following table gives the foil thickness and positions. Carbon foils are 99.95% carbon. Positions less than 0 are upstream from the nominal target center.

Each of these targets is 25 mm wide at the beam interaction point. Please see picture to get a better view of the configuration.
Dummy Targets
The dummy targets consists of 2 aluminum alloy foils aligned with the end caps of a given cell (i.e. the 4 cm dummy has two foils placed at z = ± 2 cm). The foils are 0.8 cm wide (beam transport x direction). The following table gives the positions and thicknesses of these foils. The alloy is Al6061-T6.
