Abstract

An enriched 160Gd target of 632 μg/cm 2 on a tantalum backing of 1 mg/cm 2 had been prepared in an ultra-high vacuum environment by the reduction-distillation method at the Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC). The target was used in static nuclear electromagnetic moment measurements at IUAC. The reduction of the 160Gd 2O 3 powder to 160Gd metal, the preparation of a tantalum-backing foil and details of the ultra-high vacuum evaporator facility of the IUAC are discussed. Further, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis was performed to check the impurity of the reduction agent in the target.
