Abstract

We report the operation and performance of a compact, high-efficiency ⁸Be detector designed for use in breakup reaction studies. It offers a number of advantages over previous detectors in allowing accurate kinematical identification of ⁸Be excited states and scattering angle as well as allowing large solid angle coverage.

Detection of single and resonant projectile fragments in 12C-induced reactions to the continuum
2005, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
Detector telescopes having a $Δ E$ –E configuration, consisting of either a Si surface barrier detector or a Si strip detector followed by a NaI(Tl) stopping detector, are described for measuring intermediate mass fragments in ¹²C-induced reactions to the continuum. These include the stable break-up fragments ⁷Be and ⁹Be, as well as the resonant fragment ⁸Be. Energy calibration of the stopping detectors is based on a scintillation light-response model. Empirical approximating functions have been selected for inverting the theoretical functions relating light output to particle energy, in order to achieve calibration during rapid data sorting. The detector efficiency for resonant fragments is obtained by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. A dedicated eight-channel preamplifier module with good operational stability in vacuum, specifically designed for Si-strip detectors, is also described.
Instrumentation of double-sided silicon strip detectors for multi-particle detection
1994, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
A compact, modular, low-cost, high-density readout system for double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) has been developed. The system, composed of a customized high-density, multi-channel preamplifier unit combined with commercial CAMAC modules, provides for the individual readout of each of the 32 segments in a 16 × 16 crossed-strip DSSD. This system permits X–Y position sensitivity to be achieved for multiple-particle events, making double-sided silicon strip detectors powerful tools for the study of nuclear reactions leading to many-charged-particle final states.

A two-dimensional position-sensitive detection system for the 8Be nuclei in heavy ion reactions
1991, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
We report the construction and operation of an ⁸Be detection system, which is comprised of a paired drift chamber as ΔE detectors and two closely-spaced Si(Li) detectors as E detectors. The energy range suitable for this system is E_Be = 20–100 MeV where the solid angle ranges from 4 to 1 msr. Two-dimensional position information for coincident α-particles makes possible an accurate kinematical identification of ⁸Be_g.s. nuclei even under large α-background.
