  One of the primary goals of the Center for Accelerator Target Science (CATS)
is to provide targets and foils in support of the ATLAS User Facility and the
Low-Energy community at large. While a wide array of target production
techniques are available at CATS, new methods that must be explored invariably
arise. One such technique, the High-Intensity Vibrational Powder Plating
(HIVIPP), was first reported in 1997 by Isao Sugai. It was developed to produce
targets and stripper foils that were difficult to make by standard methods. At
Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), we have successfully constructed and tested
a simple system for this purpose. We have produced targets of carbon and
titanium on various metal backings using the HIVIPP method. We are currently in
the exciting phase of exploring the production of other elements, including
isotopically enriched and radioactive material. This work is in progress and
will be further detailed with specific examples.
