Precipitation, Oxidation and Target Processing
Intended Learning Objectives
1. Safely handle Beryllium oxide by following institutional guidelines, using a dedicated SEPA-monitored workspace, and implementing proper decontamination procedures.
2. Prepare Beryllium and Aluminium AMS targets by homogenizing samples with Niobium or Silver powder, accurately pressing them into copper cathodes, and ensuring proper labeling for analysis.
3. Maintain laboratory safety and cleanliness by correctly disposing of waste, wiping down surfaces, and preventing contamination between samples.
