The next generation nuclear instruments: AGATA and NEDA, and nuclear structure studies near N=Z line

2017

The first part of this thesis is devoted to the development of a large array of neutron detectors NEDA (NEutron Detector Array) and their conceptual design using Monte-Carlo simulations. Prior to the development of NEDA, the neutron detection with liquid scintillators is discussed in Chapter 2. In Chapter 3, the design criteria and simulations of NEDA are discussed. NEDA aims to build a neutron detector array with high efficiency, based on liquid scintillators. NEDA will be coupled to the high-purity γ-ray detector arrays, like AGATA, EXOGAM, to be used as a trigger or complementary detector in the contemporary nuclear physics experiments, which aim to investigate the structure of the exoti…
