Gas targets are often used at accelerator facilities. A design of
high-pressure gas cells that are suitable for hydrogen and helium isotopes at
relatively high electron beam currents is presented. In particular, we consider
rare gas targets, $^3$H$_2$ and $^3$He. In the design, heat transfer and
mechanical integrity of the target cell are emphasized. ANSYS 12 was used for
the thermo-mechanical studies of the target cell. Since the ultimate goal in
this study was to design a gas target for use at the Jefferson Laboratory
(JLab), particular attention is given to the typical operating conditions found
there. It is demonstrated that an aluminum alloy cell can meet the required
design goals
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
