Abstract

A versatile fast coincidence system has been studied for experiments using several detectors. In this system, all the “coincident events” are produced with an associated code, and thus, different kinds of events can be processed with the same experimental set-up. Also, the classification of the logical pulses gives the possibility of using a large number of ways (30 in our system). The setting of the system is very simple: there are only two time windows to adjust.

Recent developments of multi e-y spectrometers
1999, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
A brief introductory survey of γ-ray detector arrays and in-beam electron spectrometers developed during the last three lustra is followed by a broad discussion of the general requirements for single and multiple in-beam e-γ spectrometers. A detailed analysis is made of a few important tools for reducing the low-energy electron background (i.e. simultaneous E-Bρ selection, true and random coincidence rates, EM static fields around the target region). This survey and discussion are illustrated by the results of several in-beam e-γ measurements dealing with nuclear spectroscopic investigations of a few medium and heavy nuclei.
Evidence for abnormal M1 transition in 187Pt
1992, Nuclear Physics, Section A
Gamma-gamma angular correlation measurements have been performed in ¹⁸⁷Pt in order to determine the spin values of the states connected by the highly converted transitions. For one of these transitions, we have determined that the spin values of the initial and final states are different, which implies abnormal M1 multipolarity for this highly converted transition. In that case the deduced penetration parameters have especially high absolute values. Moreover we have determined uniquely the spin value of most of the excited states below 800 keV. The occurence of highly converted transitions in ¹⁸⁷Pt is examined and the low-spin negative-parity levels are discussed in terms of shape coexistence.
Heavy ion identification system for a magnetic spectrometer
1982, Nuclear Instruments and Methods In Physics Research
The magnetic spectrometer of ALICE at Orsay, has been equipped with gas counters allowing a complete identification in mass, atomic number and energy for a few MeV / nucleon heavy ions. The detection system covers the whole entrance solid angle of 4.7 msr and 20% of the energy spectrum in the focal plane for a given ion. The system is equipped with avalanche parallel plate counters giving the time of flight in the magnet and also the entrance position. Behind the spectrometer, a large ionization chamber measures two energy losses and the residual energy. The position of the particle is given by a proportional counter placed in the focal plane. The system accepts a few thousands counts per second, can give a good identification in mass A / ΔA∼80, in atomic number Z∼10–30 and measures the energy with a resolution better than 2×10⁻³.
A microcomputer based multiple detector data acquisition system
1978, Nuclear Instruments and Methods
A multiple detector system for performing up to twenty-five simultaneous coincidence measurements is described. A microcomputer is used to store data, control the experiment and perform elementary analysis. Data rates for the system are up to a factor of twenty-five greater than in conventional two detector coincidence schemes, and systematic errors due to changes in the experimental variables are minimized.
PERFORMANCE OF A HIGH-PURITY GERMANIUM MULTI-DETECTOR TELESCOPE FOR LONG-RANGE PARTICLES.
1980, Nuclear instruments and methods
A telescope of stacked high-purity germanium detectors designed for long-range charged particles was tested using medium energy protons. Particle identification and the rejection of the low-energy tail could be accomplished on-line allowing the measurement of complex spectra. The efficiency of the detector stack for protons was measured up to 156 MeV incoming energy. The various factors affecting the energy resolution are discussed and their estimated contributions are compared with the experimental results.
