CALIFA is the calorimeter proposed for the detection of gamma-rays and light charged particles originated in nuclear reactions from relativistic exotic beams [1]. It would surround the target of the RB experiment [2], a versatile reaction setup with high efficiency, acceptance, and resolution for obtaining kinematically complete measurements of reactions induced by high-energy radioactive beams. The present report summarizes the characterization of CsI(Tl) crystals and LAAPDs, done in the framework of the CALIFA calorimeter R&D, looking for the best performances on their properties (such as energy resolution, low energy detection threshold, non-uniformity, ...)

Growth of CsI(Tl) crystals doped with Ca and Tm and investigation of its scintillation characteristics
In this work, the growth of CsI(Tl) crystals as gamma detector was performed using vertical Bridgman method with Ca and Tm co-dopants. For evaluation of the growth crystals, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence and thermoluminescence spectra as well as recorded gamma spectra were employed. In addition, the scintillation properties including energy resolution, scintillation decay time, abs...
متن کاملCALIFA: a Photon and High Energy Charged Particle Calorimeter for R3B
CALIFA [1] is the detector of the RB/FAIR experiment that acts as total absorption γ calorimeter and spectrometer as well as identifier of charged particles from target residues when operating in coincidence with the Target Recoil (tracking) Detector (TRD). This versatility is its most challenging requirement, demanding a huge dynamic range, covering from low energy γ to 300 MeV protons. A typi...

The R 3 B calorimeter/spectrometer CALIFA[1] consists of 4000 CsI(Tl) crystals of 7 different shapes in a densely packed geometry. The prototype, produced at Lund University, belongs to the polar angular region 40°80°. It has 3x5 crystals, each with 10x30 mm 2 front area, 15x42 mm 2 back area, 10x10 mm 2 readout area and a total length of 130 mm. The extension of the detector part (100-130 mm) ...
متن کاملNeutron beam test of CsI crystal for dark matter search
We have studied the response of Tl-doped and Na-doped CsI crystals to nuclear recoils and γ’s below 10 keV. The response of CsI crystals to nuclear recoil was studied with mono-energetic neutrons produced by the H(p,n)He reaction. This was compared to the response to Compton electrons scattered by 662 keV γ-ray. Pulse shape discrimination between the response to these γ’s and nuclear recoils wa...

Five batches of CsI(Tl) crystals, 50 samples in total, supplied by Amcrys Ltd (Khar’kov), St.Gobain Crystals (France) and Lanzhou (China) have been tested with gamma-sources and in a beam of protons by using PD’s, two types of APD’s and three types of magnetic field insensitive PMT’s as readout devices. The complete RB/EXL calorimeter/specrometer systems [1] are expected to consist of ≃6000 CsI...
