Abstract

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. 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 around 10-20 MeV., Comment: 8 pages, 13 figures

Abstract

We present a facility for direct measurements at low and very low energies typical for nuclear astrophysics (NA). The facility consists of a small and robust tandem accelerator where irradiations are made, and an ultra-low background laboratory located in a salt mine where very low radio-activities can be measured. Both belong to Horia Hulubei National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) but are situated 120 km apart. Their performances are shown using a few cases where they are used. We argue that this facility is competitive for the study of nuclear reactions induced by alpha particles and by light ions at energies close or down into the Gamow windows. A good case study was the 13C+12C fusion reaction, where the proton evaporation channel leads to an activity with T1/2 = 15 h, appropriate for samples' transfer to the salt mine. Measurements were done using the thick target method down into the Gamow window for energies from Ecm=2.2 MeV, which is the lowest energy ever reached for this reaction, up to 5.3 MeV, using 13C beams from the 3 MV tandetron. The activation method allowed us to determine a cross section of the order of 100 pb. Reactions induced by alphas were also measured. Proton induced resonant reactions were used to calibrate the accelerator terminal voltage. Some results of the experiemnts characterizing the assembly are sown and discussed., Comment: 8 pages, 12 figures

Abstract

19 pags., 16 figs., 8 tabs., We present the design, prototype developments and test results of the new time-of-flight detector (ToFD) which is part of the R3B experimental setup at GSI and FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany. The ToFD detector is able to detect heavy-ion residues of all charges at relativistic energies with a relative energy precision σΔE/ ΔE of up to 1% and a time precision of up to 14 ps (sigma). Together with an elaborate particle-tracking system, the full identification of relativistic ions from hydrogen up to uranium in mass and nuclear charge is possible., This work received support from BMBF (05P19RFFN1, 05P15RDFN1, 05P19RDFN1) and HIC for FAIR.

Subjects
Physics, QC1-999
Abstract

In my presentation, I will discuss the use of transfer reactions as an indirect method of determining information important for nuclear astrophysics. Specifically, I will focus on peripheral reactions and their analysis with the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients (ANC) method. I will present results from related experiments that have been conducted at the Cyclotron Institute, Texas A&M University with focus on the 0ptical Model Parameters obtained and the need for reliable calculations. Additionally, I will describe the im- provements in the measured data that we obtained after upgrading the detection system used.

Abstract

Elastic scattering reactions have been part of a campaign of studies at the Cyclotron Institute from Texas A&M University for more than 30 years. The studied nuclei ranged from 8Be to 22Ne. In order to study the astrophysically important 26Si (through its mirror 26Mg), it was necessary to perform an upgrade of the focal plane detection system. Several scattering reactions on nuclei heavier than A=22 were measured as tests and the preliminary results are presented here. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
