Re: Hall D targets

Dear all,
Curtis is of course perfectly correct, but we have been discussing to add
a solid target in the incarnation of a foil to the target setup, one
reason being that we think we will need this during commisioning.
There is co design yet. a full ladder becuase of the space requirements as
pointed out already by Curtis will be very difficult.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on what targets you have been
thinking? Is there a drawing/document on the primex target ladder some
engineers could look to and give better feedback.
Thanks and happy thanksgiving
