Abstract :
A model of residual gamma ray activity of a target which is exposed to pulsed beams is developed. This model is consistent with the formalism for a continuous beam given by M. Barbier (1969). An attempt has been made to compare predictions with the available data from targets used in the previous collider runs at Fermilab, and a reasonable agreement is achieved. The method predicts the radioactivity of one of the earlier Fermilab antiproton production targets as well.<>
