Description
Session dedicated to the new detectors and setups developed in the group
Electron spectroscopy is a powerful tool in the investigation of fundamental properties of the atomic nucleus, essential in the study of nuclear structure, where empirical nuclear models provide a framework to understand many nuclear phenomena. The study of electric monopole transitions between nuclear states having the same spin and parity can make an important contribution to clarifying the...
The GRIT European collaboration aims to build a new generation Silicon detector array for optimal study of direct nuclear reactions induced by radioactive-ion beams.
Large-volume scintillator detectors are used in nuclear physics experiments with high-energy gamma rays. In this paper, I’m presenting the R&D work performed in Milano on scintillators and their employment in collective motion experiments. There are two main activities in Milan: the first one regards the CLYC scintillators, focused on their fast neutron efficiency, whereas the second is on the...
During the past year, the EXOTIC facility underwent several upgrades, including the installation of newly developed Micro-Channel Plates (MCPs). This enables the event-by-event identification of the radioactive ion beam by the two detectors positioned upstream of the AGATA target chamber. The present setup facilitates the tracking of incoming particles, thereby enabling the separation of the...
The higher counting-rate and radiation hardness required by modern gamma spectroscopy experiments highlight the need for a new generation of High-Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors based on electrons-collecting electrodes. To achieve this goal, a new doping technology, the Pulsed Laser Melting (PLM), has been developed. This technique is being applied to coaxial detectors in the framework of...
A brief presentation about available ancillary detectors at LNL, use cases, optimization processes and future plans.
