Zusammenfassung: | For direct cross section measurements in nuclear astrophysics, in addition to suitable ion beams and detectors, also highly pure and stable targets are needed. Here, using a gas jet as a target offers an attractive approach that combines high stability even under significant beam load with excellent purity and high localisation. Such a target is currently under construction at the Felsenkeller underground ion accelerator lab for nuclear astrophysics in Dresden, Germany. The target thickness will be measured by optical interferometry, allowing an in-situ thickness determination including also beam-induced effects. The contribution reports on the status of this new system and outlines possible applications in nuclear astrophysics. |
