Abstract :
Summary form only given. The Los Alamos HEDH program, (USA), in conjunction with VNIEF, (Russia), have jointly conducted spallation experiments over the past several years. The latest fabrication techniques use bonding methods for holding and separating the different target components. This poster describes the latest techniques used for fabricating dual stacked and bonded target assemblies for the Russian damage (RD) series of experiments. The 200 mum adhesive shock isolation layers, that separate the glide plane interfaces, now replace a previously used O-ring style interface. This new-method ensures precise concentricity and parallelism between critical target features along with making a more robust target assembly. This poster describes these new manufacturing methods that have improved precision and eased assembly procedures.
