A study in using MICROMEGAS to improve particle identification with the TAMU-MDM focal plane detector

Journal Article Spiridon, A. ; Pollacco, E. ; Saastamoinen, A. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

A MICROMEGAS detection amplifier has been incorporated into the design of the TAMU-MDM focal plane detector with the purpose of improving the energy resolution and thus, the particle identification. Furthermore, beam tests showed a factor of 2 improvement over the original design, from 10%–12% to 4%–6%, for ions with A ≤ 40 at E/A ~ 10–20 MeV.

Focal plane detectors possible detector technologies for OWL/AIRWATCH

Journal Article Flyckt, Esso - AIP Conference Proceedings

New satellite-born projects OWL and AIRWATCH will need single-photon focal-plane detectors of a million pixels in a design which is optimized to the focusing optics and electronics at acceptable cost. We discuss different phototube possibilities and their pros and cons with crude cost estimates. We conclude that a multichannel-photomultiplier solution is safe. A better compromise may be to adapt a 6 or 9 inch X-ray image intensifier tube or develop a 12 inch image intensifier for detecting individual photons, and adapt the optics to have many mirror modules. The possibility of developing super-large-area phototubes is also discussed.

The Focal-Plane Detector Package on the TUNL Split-Pole Spectrograph

Journal Article Marshall, Caleb ; Setoodehnia, Kiana ; Kowal, Katie ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement

A focal plane detector for the Enge Split-pole Spectrograph at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory has been designed. The detector package consists of two position sensitive gas avalanche counters, a gas proportionality energy loss section, and a residual energy scintillator. This setup allows both particle identification and focal plane reconstruction. In this paper we will detail the construction of each section along with their accompanying electronics and data acquisition. Effects of energy loss throughout the detector, ray tracing procedures, and resolution as a function of fill pressure and bias voltage are also investigated. A measurement of the 27Al(d,p) reaction is usedmore »« less
