Abstract

The P-cubed Target Insertion Device (P $^3$ -TID) is a research instrument dedicated to test novel positron source target configurations inside of the proof-of-principle PSI Positron Production (P-cubed or P $^3$ ) experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The device allows an easy installation, positioning and replacement of different fixed targets. The present article describes its mechanical design at a detailed level.
