Abstract

The response to monoenergetic protons of 24 cm long pyramidal BGO sectors, designed for a 4π spectrometer, was measured up to 173 MeV by scattering 200 MeV protons off a polyethylene target. The experimental results are compared with lower energy results and Monte Carlo calculations performed with a modified version of the GEANT code.

Reaction losses of light charged particles in Csl, BGO and GSO scintillators

Nuclear interaction losses of $^{1,2,3} H$ , $^{4,6,8} He$ , $^{6,7,8,9} Li$ and $^{9} Be$ in CsI, BGO and GSO crystals have been measured as a function of particle energy in the range of 10–50 MeV/nucleon by direct exposure of ΔE(Si)–E(Sci/PD) telescopes to secondary beams from the ACCULINNA fragment separator. The results are compared with calculations based on inelastic cross sections from complete fusion and diffraction scattering (Glauber) models.
A BGO hodoscope for intermediate mass fragments
1998, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
A BGO hodoscope was developed to detect intermediate mass fragments (IMF) emitted from the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions. It consists of 13 ΔE–E telescopes (Si–BGO). The responses of the BGO detector for charged particles and IMF were tested. The results indicate that charge resolution for helium, IMF and isotope resolution for hydrogen are achieved for this hodoscope. Some applications of this hodoscope are also described.

Simulation of photon-nucleon interactions Part II. ν photoproduction with a 4π BGO calorimeter
1994, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
We simulate an experiment of ν photoproduction on the nucleon performed with a 4π BGO electromagnetic calorimeter and a Compton backscattering tagged beam of 1.5 GeV maximum energy to extract information on background suppression and trigger settings. The simulation is possible by the application of an event generator that reproduces the photon-nucleon interaction from the pion threshold up to 4 GeV.
Loss of light charged particles by nuclear interactions in BaF<inf>2</inf> crystals
1993, Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A
The nuclear interaction probability of light charged particles in BaF₂ crystals has been studied as a function of the incident particle energy. Light charged particles were identified in charge and mass by measuring their magnetic rigidity and their time-of-flight. The percentage of particles undergoing nuclear interactions has been measured for particles of charge from Z = 1 to Z = 6 and the experimental data are compared with the results of a model calculation.
