Description

The thickness of the $^{11}$B target was determined by using $^{11}$B(p,p$_{0})$ elastic reaction. The proton beams were accelerated up to the energy range from 1.1 - 1.9 MeV by the Pelletron 5SDH-2 accelerator at Hanoi University of Science. The measured $^{11}$B target thickness is 65.45 ± 3.78 $\mu g/cm^2$, lower than the value of 74 $\mu g/cm^2$ from the target supplier. This result demonstrates the capability of this method in the target thickness determination.

Keywords: thickness, boron target, proton – nucleus elastic scattering, Pelletron.
