Abstract

The resistance against alpha radiation of several thin plastic foils (formvar, parylene, polyimide, polypropylene, polysulfone, vyns), to be used as substrates for nuclear targets, was examined using alpha particles from an 241Am source (in air and in vacuum) and from a cyclotron. The results depended on the experimental conditions, but the best results were always obtained using polyimide foils.
