Asymmetric linear Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak coincidence spectrometer
1972
Abstract An asymmetric linear Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak coincidence spectrometer configuration has been designed and tested. In this system, the ratio of the gains of two detector-amplifier chains is chosen around 1.2 to 1.3, and the pulse amplitudes or addresses due to coincident events are summed. The simple method introduced involving a single run which results in two spectra (separated according to which detector records the larger energy) appears to be quite useful in γγ coincidence and directional correlation measurements, especially in laboratories where no event-by-event data acquisition hardware are available.
Onset of nuclear vaporization inAu197+197Au collisions
1993
Multifragmentation has been measured for [sup 197]Au+[sup 197]Au collisions at [ital E]/[ital A]=100, 250, and 400 MeV. The mean fragment multiplicity increases monotonically with the charged particle multiplicity at [ital E]/[ital A]=100 MeV, but decreases for central collisions with incident energy, consistent with the onset of nuclear vaporization. Molecular dynamics calculations follow some trends but underpredict the observed fragment multiplicities. Including the statistical decay of excited residues improves the agreement for peripheral collisions but worsens it for central collisions.
Energy dependence of the $^{28}$Si($^{32}$S,$^{36}$Ar)$^{24}$Mg reaction between 90 and 103 MeV incident energy
1986
Abstract Angular distributions for the 28 Si( 32 S, 36 Ar) 24 Mg reaction have been measured from 90 to 103 MeV of incident lab energy, in steps of 0.5 MeV. The ground state, the 2 1 + level in each nucleus and the mutual excitation of both 2 1 + states have been resolved. The data have been analysed in the frame of finite range DWBA calculations. The deduced relative spectroscopic factors show good agreement with those predicted by the model of Chung and Wildenthal but are smaller than those deduced in other experiments.
Spectra and correlations of Λ andΛ¯produced in 340-GeV/cΣ−+Cand 260-GeV/cn+Cinteractions
2002
We have measured the production of strange baryons and antibaryons in 340-GeV/c Sigma /sup -/+C and 260-GeV/c n+C interactions. The single x/sub F/ distributions show the expected leading particle effect, and the single p/sub t//sup 2/ distributions show a distinct nonthermal behavior. The x/sub F/ distributions of Lambda - Lambda pairs indicate two different phase space distributions for the two coincident baryons. On the other hand two Lambda 's show identical distributions. Momentum conservation during the formation process may represent a significant source for the observed behavior.
Background radioactivity in the scaler mode technique of the Argo-YBJ detector
2011
""ARGO-YBJ is an extensive air shower detector located at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 ma.s.l., 606 g cm^−2 atmospheric depth, Tibet, China).. It is made by a single layer of Resistive Plate Chambers. (RPCs, total surface ~ 6700 m^2) grouped into 153 units. called “clusters”. The low energy threshold of the experiment is obtained using the ”scaler operation mode”, counting all the particles hitting the detector without reconstruction of the shower size and arrival direction. For each cluster the signals generated by these particles are put in coincidence in a narrow time window (150 ns) and read by four independent. scaler channels, giving the counting rates of channel. >= 1, …
First coincidences in pre-clinical Compton camera prototype for medical imaging
2003
Abstract Compton collimated imaging may improve the detection of gamma rays emitted by radioisotopes used in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We present a crude prototype consisting of a single 500 μm thick, 256 pad silicon detector with pad size of 1.4×1.4 mm 2 , combined with a 15×15×1 cm 3 NaI scintillator crystal coupled to a set of 20 photo multipliers. Emphasis is placed on the performance of the silicon detector and the associated read-out electronics, which has so far proved to be the most challenging part of the set-up. Results were obtained using the VATAGP3, 128 channel low-noise self-triggering ASIC as the silicon detector's front-end. The noise distribution (…
A Ge(Li)Ge(Li) sum-peak (summing coincidence) spectrometer
1970
Abstract The sum-peak spectrometer (also called the integral-bias summing coincidence spectrometer) arrangement earlier developed with NaI(Tl) detectors is extended to Ge(Li) detectors. The integral-bias method in sorting sums of coincident pulse amplitudes is replaced by a set of pulse-height selection windows, which simply and more effectively aid in the analysis of sum-peak complexities associated with the symmetric linear summing procedure employed. A large part of the original information lost in summing of the pulse amplitudes can be retained by simultaneous sorting of the total spectrum into suitable subgroups. The arrangement represents in effect a real-time totalizing spectrometer …
Multimode squeezing of frequency combs
2006
We have developed a full multimode theory of a synchronously pumped type-I optical parametric oscillator. We calculate the output quantum fluctuations of the device and find that, in the degenerate case (coincident signal and idler set of frequencies), significant squeezing is obtained when one approaches threshold from below for a set of well-defined ``supermodes,'' or frequency combs, consisting of a coherent linear superposition of signal modes of different frequencies which are resonant in the cavity.
Secondary electron flight times and tracks in the carbon foil time pick-up detector
2014
Carbon foil time pick-up detectors used in the time-of-flight measurements of MeV energy ions have been studied in connection to time-of-flight-energy spectrometer used for heavy ion elastic recoil detection analysis. In experimental coincident TOF-E data characteristic halos are observed around light element isobars, and the origin of these halos were studied. The experimental data indicated that these halos originate from single electron events occurring before the electron multiplication in the microchannel plate. By means of electron trajectory simulations, this halo effect is explained to originate from single electron, emitted from the carbon foil, hitting the non-active area of the m…
Symmetries in mirror nuclei $^{31}$S and $^{31}$P
2018
Excited states in mirror nuclei 31S and 31P were populated in the 1n and 1p exit channels, respectively, of the reaction 20Ne + 12C. The beam of 20Ne, with an energy of 33 MeV, was delivered for the first time by the Piave-Alpi accelerator of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro. Angular correlations of coincident pairs and Doppler-shift attenuation lifetime measurements in 31S and 31P were performed using the multidetector array GASP in conjunction with the EUCLIDES charged particle detector. A comparison of the determined B(E1) strengths of the analog mirror 7/2- → 5/2+ transitions indicates the presence of a violation of isospin symmetry.
