Abstract
A new detector system for measurements of charged particles and -rays in coincidence has been developed at TIFR Mumbai, by coupling an annular double-sided segmented Si detector with an array of Compton-suppressed clover HPGe detectors. Digital data acquisition system has been configured for the setup, which has been calibrated and tested using the 229Th radioactive source that emits -particles along with -rays. The functionality and performance of the coincidence apparatus for Doppler correction of -transitions emitted during the in-flight de-excitation of the projectile and the target in the 30Si + 197Au Coulomb excitation experiment have been demonstrated.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
