Abstract

A technique is presented for precision measurements of the area densities, ρT, of approximately 5% radiation length carbon and ²⁰⁸Pb targets used in an experiment at Jefferson Laboratory to measure the neutral pion radiative width. The precision obtained in the area density for the carbon target is ±0.050%, and that obtained for the lead target through an X-ray attenuation technique is ±0.43%.
