Target boat contains one pellet of carbon mesh coated with UC2.  The sample was prepared in the Ar-glove box and the container is wrapped
with 2 layer of Ta foil (it wasn't easy to do the wrapping).

Due to the differences in the use of the graphite foils in past SiC targets (C-grv foil from Alpha Aesar) and the newly prepared SiC#27 (C-grv
foil from Ceramaterial), the out-gassing period for SiC#27 took over 6 days compared to 3 days for the vacuum to come down (see https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/Evaporator_1/47).
