A compact linear Paul trap cooler buncher for CRIS
2020
A gas-filled linear Paul trap for the Collinear Resonance Ionisation Spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at ISOLDE, CERN is currently under development. The trap is designed to accept beam from both ISOLDE target stations and the CRIS stable ion source. The motivation for the project along with the current design, simulations and future plans, will be outlined. peerReviewed
The COMPASS experiment at CERN
2007
The COMPASS experiment makes use of the CERN SPS high-intensitymuon and hadron beams for the investigation of the nucleon spin structure and the spectroscopy of hadrons. One or more outgoing particles are detected in coincidence with the incoming muon or hadron. A large polarized target inside a superconducting solenoid is used for the measurements with the muon beam. Outgoing particles are detected by a two-stage, large angle and large momentum range spectrometer. The setup is built using several types of tracking detectors, according to the expected incident rate, required space resolution and the solid angle to be covered. Particle identification is achieved using a RICH counter and both…
Spins, Electromagnetic Moments, and Isomers of $^{107-129}Cd$
2013
The neutron-rich isotopes of cadmium up to the N=82 shell closure have been investigated by high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Deep-UV excitation at 214.5 nm and radioactive-beam bunching provided the required experimental sensitivity. Long-lived isomers are observed in 127Cd and 129Cd for the first time. One essential feature of the spherical shell model is unambiguously confirmed by a linear increase of the 11/2- quadrupole moments. Remarkably, this mechanism is found to act well beyond the h11/2 shell. The neutron-rich isotopes of cadmium up to the N=82 shell closure have been investigated by high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Deep-uv excitation at 214.5 nm and radioactive-beam bunchin…

Antiproton-Proton Cross Sections at Small Momenta
1990
Since the startup of LEAR in 1983 we have undertaken a series of measurements of antiproton-proton cross sections for annihilation (pp → mesons)1, charge-exchange reaction (pp → nn)2, and elastic scattering (pp → pp)3,4. We have focussed our efforts of the measurements on the beam momentum range between 160 and 600 MeV/c. Our detector is optimized to handle the antiproton beam at very small momenta5. The liquid hydrogen target is placed in the vacuum tank, and the vacuum is directly connected to the beam line. The incident beam is defined by thin scintillators also placed in the vacuum. With the apparatus of these unique designs we have explored the beam momentum region below 300 MeV/c with…
Positron Annihilation in Corroded Steels St20 and St3S
2006
The paper deals with examining the lifetimes of positrons emitted from Na source in corroded St20 and St3S steels. Influence of the method of defecting the sample surfaces on the spectrum of positron lifetimes was investigated. Influence of temperature of initial annealing of samples, plastic deformation, electrolytic hydrogenation and corrosion in HCl vapors on trapping positrons in the examined steels was also determined.
Two-body photodisintegration of the deuteron from 100 to 800 MeV
1996
Abstract The total and the differential cross sections for the D(γ,p)n reaction have been measured over the photon energy range 100-800 MeV at the 855 MeV MAMI Microtron in Mainz. Using the large acceptance detector DAPHNE in conjunction with the Glasgow tagging spectrometer, high precision results with small systematic errors were obtained. The data are presented in the form of thirty-five angular distributions at c.m. proton angles between 30°–160° in 10° intervals and at photon energies in steps of 20 MeV. Previous experimental work is reassessed in the light of the present results and comparison with some recent theoretical calculations.
Design, construction and performance of the energy compressing system of the Mainz 300 MeV electron linac
1973
Abstract For the sake of better energy resolution of the 300 MeV electron linac of Mainz university a system has been built which transforms a sharply bunched beam of poor energy resolution into a beam of sharply defined energy, while its bunches are smeared out. The system is described, its design philosophy and some essential construction details are given. The operating experience of the last 6 months since completion of the system is communicated.
The energy loss system of the electron scattering facility at the Mainz 300 MeV linear accelerator
1978
Abstract An energy loss system was constructed for the electron scattering facility at the Mainz 300 MeV linear accelerator with the aim of improving the energy resolution and increasing the useful beam current. The main features of the design are: (1) the existing system (conventional mode) is kept in full operation, (2) for the energy loss mode, the electron beam is deflected vertically downwards and then returned to the original beam line by the dispersion matching system, consisting of three dipole magnets and one quadrupole magnet, (3) the dispersion of the beam on the target can be tuned to the dispersion of the spectrometer with the aid of the quadrupole magnet. With the installation…

1981
Abstract A description is given of the beam transport system for injection into the first microtron of MAMI. Further, a special procedure to improve the field distribution of the dipole magnets is described in some detail and results are given.
