Abstract

We describe a supersonic gas jet target built for studying reactions induced by heavy ions with high energy resolution. The device produces very localized high density gas jets in a near vacuum environment and is presently installed in the scattering chamber of a magnetic spectrograph at the ORNL HHIRF. With a 100 MeV 16O beam collimated to a size of approximately 1 mm2 at the target, image sizes of 0.42 mm have been obtained at the focal plane of the spectrograph with a solid angle of 2.4 msr and target densities of 15-30 μg/cm2.
