Hauptzielmaterialien
Hauptzielmaterialien, or main target materials, are the substances that are intentionally subjected to an interaction in experiments, reactions, or processing. They are distinguished from backing or support materials and are selected to provide specific physical, chemical, or isotopic properties that drive the outcome of the process. The choice of a target material depends on factors such as atomic number, isotopic composition, thickness, purity, and stability under operating conditions.
In scientific and engineering contexts, targets are used for irradiation by particle beams, nuclear reaction studies,
Typical examples vary by field. In nuclear physics and radiochemistry, heavy metals such as gold, tantalum,
