Abstract

Target characteristics required to carry out reliable thermal neutron induced fission studies on 243Am are discussed. Especially the problems caused by the ingrowth of 239Pu in the material are examined, and purification of the 243Am base material is studied. Targets prepared by electrospraying of americium acetate have been used and were verified in neutron induced reactions.
