Session 2: Facilities and Instrumentation
- Pete Jones (iThemba LABS)
The AGATA-MUGAST-VAMOS set-up, which was recently available at GANIL
for a direct reaction campaign, combined the state-of-the-art gamma-ray
tracking array AGATA with the highly-segmented silicon array MUGAST and
the large-acceptance magnetic spectrometer VAMOS. The mechanical and
electronics integration provided a maximum efficiency for each device.
The superb sensitivity of the complete...
Due to their unique analytical and irradiation capabilities, ion beam accelerators play a major role in solving problems of modern society related to environmental pollution and monitoring, climate change, water and air quality, forensics, cultural heritage, agriculture, development of advanced materials for energy production via fission or fusion, and many other fields. Moreover, particle...
A significant part of the upgrade of the Dubna Radioactive Ion Beams facility was putting in operation a new high acceptance device - the ACCULINNA-2 fragment separator, http://flerovlab.jinr.ru/accullina-ii/. It’s the new in-flight facility for operating with low energy 30-60 AMeV primary beams with 3 ≤ Z ≤ 36 delivered by U-400M cyclotron. The new separator provides high quality secondary...
The study of nuclear statistical properties is of importance not only in nuclear waste transmutation [1] and nuclear fuel cycles [2] but also in nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics studies [3]. These statistical properties - the nuclear level density (NLD), which describes the number of available energy levels in a nucleus for a given excitation energy, and the photon strength...
