Description
Time Projection Chambers are widely used since many years for tracking and identification of charged particles in high energy physics. The feasibility of using a low-cost and "mobile" instrument of this kind to count the recoils, instead of the gammas, emitted by a capture reaction in inverse kinematics is investigated. This approach would provide a breakthrough for cross section measurements of astrophysical relevance. Such a detector has been constructed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of NCSR Demokritos in collaboration with the CEA, Irfu, Centre de Saclay. Some preliminary results from the first tests that have been performed with this detector will be presented, together with the future prospects of the project.
