4.3: Natural and enriched Gadolinium convertors design

This deliverable, D4.3: Natural and enriched Gadolinium converters design, is about determining a viable approved design for Gadolinium convertors for detectors. It establishes a design and engineering technique baseline for the detectors. There are three main aspects to this deliverable:

1. The requirements for the converters layers by understanding the desired properties.

2. Established a mechanical technique, by which relatively large areas (up to 60x60 cm2) of thin Gadolinium foils can be produced.

3. Present isoptope-enriched Gadolinium as a possible future upgrade for the detectors, by determining that there is a limited, but realistic strategic availability of the material.
