Title: Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC) for measurements of fusion reactions with radioactive beams

Abstract

A detection technique for high-efficiency measurements of fusion reactions with low-intensity radioactive beams was developed. The technique is based on a Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC) operating as an active target and detection system, where the ionization gas acts as both target and counting gas. In this way, we can sample an excitation function in an energy range determined by the gas pressure, without changing the beam energy. The detector provides internal normalization to the incident beam and drastically reduces the measuring time. In the first experiment we tested the performance of the technique by measuring the ^10,13,15C+¹²C fusion reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier.

MuSIC@Indiana: An effective tool for accurate measurement of fusion with low-intensity radioactive beams

Journal Article Johnstone, J. E. ; Kumar, Rohit ; Hudan, S. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The design, construction, and characterization of the Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber, MuSIC@Indiana, are described. This detector provides efficient and accurate measurement of the fusion cross-section at near-barrier energies. The response of the detector to low-intensity beams of ^17,18O, ¹⁹F, ²³Na, ^24,26Mg, ²⁷Al, and ²⁸Si at E_lab 50–60MeV was examined. MuSIC@Indiana was commissioned by measuring the ¹⁸O+¹²C fusion excitation function for 11 < E_cm < 20 MeV using CH₄ gas. Here, a simple, effective analysis cleanly distinguishes proton capture and two-body scattering events from fusion on carbon.

Improving the characterization of fusion in a MuSIC detector by spatial localization

Journal Article Johnstone, J. E. ; Kumar, Rohit ; Hudan, S. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Multi-Sampling Ionization Chambers (MuSIC) provide an efficient means of measuring nuclear reactions with low beam rates (< 10⁶ pps). However, in comparison to thin-target measurements, prior measurements using MuSIC detectors all manifest fusion excitation functions with wide error bars in the energy dimension. This uncertainty limits the applicability of these devices in measuring near and sub-barrier fusion cross-sections. Key to overcoming this limitation is spatial localization of the fusion in the detector. By comparing the measured ionization in the MuSIC detector with accurate energy loss calculations the position of the fusion in the detector is determined. The analysis not onlymore »« less

Study of $(α, p)$ and $(α, n)$ reactions with a Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber

Journal Article Avila, M. L. ; Rehm, K. E. ; Almaraz-Calderon, S. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Here, a large number of (α,p) and (α, n) reactions are known to play a fundamental role in nuclear astrophysics. This work presents a novel technique to study these reactions with the active target system MUSIC whose segmented anode allows the investigation of a large energy range of the excitation function with a single beam energy. In order to verify the method, we performed direct measurements of the previously measured reactions ¹⁷O (α, n) ²⁰Ne, ²³Na (α,p) ²⁶Mg, and ²³Na ²⁶Al. These reactions were investigated in inverse kinematics using ⁴He gas in the detector to study the excitation functions inmore »« less

Near- and sub-barrier fusion of {sup 6}He+{sup 40}Ar

A measurement of the fusion cross section for {sup 6}He + {sup 40}Ar near and below the Coulomb barrier has been performed using a {sup 6}He beam from the UND/Um radioactive beam facility. The {sup 6}He nucleus is thought to have a neutron skin surrounding a {sup 6}He core. If this is the case, then Coulomb polarization of the core relative to the halo might result in neutron flow along a neck, and therefore to a large enhancement of the sub-barrier fusion cross section. {sup 6}He nuclei, of incident energy 10.05 {+-} 0.44 MeV, were directed into a segmented ionizationmore »« less
Nuclear Structure of Radioactive Neutron-Rich Nuclei with 4pi Detector Arrays

Conference Wu, C Y ; Becker, J A ; Cline, D

In-beam studies of {gamma}-ray spectroscopy of radioactive neutron-rich nuclei using the 4{pi} TIGRESS array at TRIUMF requires a ''tag'' to improve the selectivity of the detected {gamma} rays in the high {gamma}-ray background produced by radioactive beams and the need for Doppler-shift correction. We propose development of two types of large solid angle auxiliary charged particle detectors to be used in conjunction with TRIGRESS in order to provide the required tag. The initial phase of detector development will focus on research involving light-mass radioactive beams with Z {le} 20. Gas avalanche detectors, such as CHICO, are not the ideal detectormore »« less
