A novel spectrometer concept for exotic nuclear structure research at the elec- tron/ion collider ELISe at FAIR*

چکیده
Electron scattering on stable target nuclei has been the most reliable tool to study nuclear structure. This tool will be available for the investigation of exotic nuclei at the electron-ion collider ELISe at FAIR. The ELISe facility is based on the colliding storage rings EAR and NESR for electrons and ions, respectively. The main instrument of ELISe will be an electron spectrometer that accepts a large fraction of scattering angles. The spectrometer consists of a Pre-Deflector (PD), a Quadrupole (Q), a Hexapole (H) and a vertically bending Dipole (D) magnets [1,2]. This spectrometer allows to measure scattering angles as small as 10 ̊ all the way to backward angles of approximately 60 .̊ The conceptual design study with a vertically opening gap but constant field PD [1] was completed. The next task is the optimization of the final lay-out for the ELISe spectrometer. In order to verify the conceptual design and to establish design parameters, ion-optical calculations have been performed with the code COSY INFINITY. An example of the ion optical calculation is shown in Fig. 1. The incident electron energy is at 517.6 MeV and the electron scattering angle is at 22.7̊. The radii of the bore of Q and H are 17.0 cm and the (horizontal) gap of D is 15.5 cm. The (vertical) good-field region of D is 25.0 cm. The polar and azimuthal angle acceptances of the spe-

An optimized design of the ELISe spectrometer for the electron/RI collider ex- periment at FAIR*
For electron scattering off radioactive nuclei, the ELISe spectrometer will be constructed as a part of FAIR. The system consists of a Pre-Deflector (PD), a Quadrupole (Q), a Hexapole (H) and a vertically bending dipole Magnet (VM). In the conceptual design of the spectrometer, the proposed iron poles of PD are similar to a clam-shell gap to accept large azimuthal scattering angles [1]. However...

Fingerprinting excited nuclear states by γ-ray spectroscopy has been a viable tool to benchmark nuclear models for decades. Since contemporay nuclear structure investigations aim at the study and understanding of very exotic nuclei at the limits of stability and their decay properties, large and thus highly efficient γ-ray spectroscopy instruments are the basis for continued discoveries into th...

The EXL Collaboration Abstract: We propose to study the structure of exotic nuclei in light-ion scattering experiments at intermediate energies. The EXL objective is to capitalise on light-ion reactions in inverse kinematics by using novel storage-ring techniques and a universal detector system providing high resolution and large solid angle coverage in kinematically complete measurements.

متن کاملInvestigation of proton elastic scattering on Zn in inverse kinematics using a stored ESR beam interacting with an internal CH4 target
The investigation of light-ion induced direct reactions in inverse kinematics, using stored and cooled radioactive beams, interacting with internal H, He, etc. gas-jet targets, bears a large potential for nuclear structure and astrophysics studies on exotic nuclei. In particular, this technique enables, as compared to investigations at external targets, high resolution measurements down to very...
