A methodology for the production of PbSe targets 79Se neutron capture cross section studies is presented. material was synthesized by direct reaction its constituents at high temperature, and characterized X-ray diffraction. Thin targets, produced experiments with surrogate method, were obtained applying a physical vapor deposition technique, their morphology composition analyzed fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy dispersive spectroscopy. Pb79Se measurements Time Flight method γ-ray Finally, procedure recovery Se from suggested. The purity retrieved determined Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy.
