Abstract

The construction and testing of a multiple-element mini-orange spectrometer array, the Pitt ICEBall, is described. The performance of the array in tests with sources and in in-beam studies is discussed, and the questions of gamma-ray, delta-ray and secondary electron background are addressed. The ICEBall has a maximum efficiency of 18% of 4π, in a compact package capable of inclusion within large gamma-detector arrays such as the Oak Ridge Spin Spectrometer.
