| Target | A | Z | Max I | Why we like it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen | 1 | 1 | dunno | Calibration stuff |
| Deuterium | 2 | 1 | dunno | You know |
| Helium-3 | 3 | 2 | dunno | no words |
| Helium-4 | 4 | 2 | dunno | no words |
| Lithium-6 | 6 | 3 | dunno | Light target, isotope 1 |
| Lithium-7 | 3 | 7 | dunno | Light target, isotope 2 |
| Beryllium | 9 | 4 | dunno | It's "special" |
| Boron-10 | 10 | 5 | dunno | Light target, isotope 1 |
| Boron-11 | 11 | 5 | dunno | Light target, isotope 2 |
| Carbon-12 | 12 | 6 | dunno | Pretty standard, really |
| Aluminum | 27 | 13 | 40uA | Not sure, medium target? |
| Calcium-40 | 40 | 20 | dunno | isospin dependence |
| Calcium-48 | 48 | 20 | dunno | isospin dependence |
| Titanium-48 | 48 | 22 | 80 uA | isospin dependence (buddy for 48Ca) |
| Nickel-58 | 58 | 28 | 80uA | isospin dependence |
| Nickel-64 | 64 | 28 | 80uA | isospin dependence |
| Copper-Nat | 63 | 29 | 80uA | Historical reasons |
| Ruthenium-96 | 96 | 44 | 80uA | isospin dependence |
| Ruthenium-104 | 104 | 44 | 80uA | isospin dependence |
| Gold-197 | 197 | 79 | 80uA | Historical reasons |
| Thorium-232 | 232 | 90 | 80uA | distorted nucleus - long vs short range correlations |
| Uranium-239 | 239 | 922 | 10uA | best n/p, but not much better than thorium |
