Characterization of a new modular decay total absorption gamma-ray spectrometer (DTAS) for FAIR

Journal Article Montaner Piza, A. ; Tain, J. L. ; Agramunt, J. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Beta-decay studies are one of the main goals of the DEcay SPECtroscopy experiment (DESPEC) to be installed at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). DESPEC aims at the study of nuclear structure of exotic nuclei. A new modular Decay Total Absorption gamma-ray Spectrometer (DTAS) is being built at IFIC and is specially adapted to studies at fragmentation facilities such as the Super Fragment Separator (Super-FRS) at FAIR. The designed spectrometer is composed of 16 identical NaI(Tl) scintillation crystals. This work focuses on the characterization of these independent modules, as an initial step for the characterization of themore »« less

$$\beta $$ Decays of $$^{92}$$Rb, $$^{96\mathrm {gs}}$$Y, and $$^{142}$$Cs Measured with the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer and the Influence of $$\gamma $$ Multiplicity on Total Absorption Spectrometry Measurements

Journal Article Rasco, Bertis C. ; Fijałkowska, A. ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; ... - Acta Physica Polonica. Series B

Total absorption spectroscopy is a technique that helps obtain reliable β-feeding patterns of complex decays important for nuclear structure and astrophysics modeling as well as decay heat analysis in nuclear reactors. The need for improved measurements of β-feeding patterns from fission decay products has come to the forefront of experiments that use nuclear reactors as a source of antineutrinos. Furthermore we present more detailed results, in particular the β-decay measurements of ^96gsY, and demonstrate the impact of the β-delayed γ multiplicity on the overall efficiency of Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer used at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study the decaysmore »« less

Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer at the HRIBF (ORNL, Oak Ridge)

Journal Article Wolińska-Cichocka, M., E-mail: mzw@ornl.gov ; Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 ; Heavy Ion Laboratory, University of Warsaw, PL 02-093 Warsaw ; ... - Nuclear Data Sheets

The Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer (MTAS) array has been designed, constructed, characterized, and applied to the decay studies of {sup 238}U fission products at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A MTAS commissioning run was performed in January 2012 at the mass separator on-line to the HRIBF Tandem accelerator. Preliminary results of MTAS data confirm known decay patterns of {sup 142}Ba and {sup 142}La deduced from an earlier study using a total absorption spectrometer technique.

First Results from the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer at the HRIBF

Journal Article Fijałkowska, A. ; Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996 ; Karny, M., E-mail: karny@mimuw.edu.pl ; ... - Nuclear Data Sheets

A Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer constructed at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility has been applied to decay studies of over 20 {sup 238}U fission products. The measurements were focused on nuclei identified as important for decay heat analysis during a nuclear fuel cycle. Preliminary results on the average electromagnetic (EM) energy release in the β decay of {sup 89}Kr and {sup 139}Xe isotopes yielded values of 2446 keV and 1126 keV, respectively. It represents an increase of over 35% and 20%, respectively, when compared to the average EM energies deduced using the ENSDF database.

Modular total absorption spectrometer

Journal Article Karny, Marek ; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof P. ; Fijałkowska, Aleksandra G. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The design and performance of the Modular Total Absorption Spectrometer built and commissioned at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is presented here. The active volume of the detector is approximately one ton of NaI(Tl), which results in very high full γ energy peak efficiency of 71% at 6 MeV and nearly flat efficiency of around 81.5% for low energy γ-rays between 300 keV and 1 MeV. In addition to the high peak efficiency, the modular construction of the detector permits the use of a γ-coincidence technique in data analysis as well as β-delayed neutron observation.
