Actar Tpc: an Active Target and Time Projection Chamber for Nuclear Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the main challenges facing experiments with rare-isotope beams is the need to extract high quality data of key physical observables from extremely limited numbers of incident ions and ever decreasing production cross sections for nuclei furthest from stability. Experiments are performed in inverse kinematics and must rely on thick reaction targets but this is often with the cost of a significant reduction in the efficiency for detection of low-energy particles, energy resolution, and overall sensitivity.

Tests of Micro - Pattern Gaseous Detectors for Active 1 Target Time Projection Chambers in nuclear physics
9 Active target detection systems, where the gas used as the detection medium 10 is also a target for nuclear reactions, have been used for a wide variety of 11 nuclear physics applications since the eighties. Improvements in MPGD (Mi12 cro Pattern Gaseous Detectors) and in micro-electronics achieved in the last 13 decade permit the development of a new generation of active targets with 14 high...
متن کاملThe 10bar hydrogen time projection chamber of the MuCap experiment
The experimental goal of the MuCap experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is a high-precision measurement of the singlet capture rate of the nuclear muon capture on the free proton in the reaction m þp-nþnm. The measuring principle is a lifetime measurement whereas the experimental approach is based on a specially developed Time Projection Chamber (TPC) operating with ultra-pure and de...
متن کاملA Time Projection Chamber for Precision ^^^Pu(n,f) Cross Section Measurement
High precision measurements of the ^^'Pu(n,f) cross section have been identified as important for the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) and other programs. Currently, the uncertainty on this cross section is of the order 2-3% for neutron energies below 14 MeV and the goal is to reduce this to less than 1%. The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) has been identified as a possible tool to make t...

متن کاملDepth and the Solar Neutrino TPC
A Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is one of the promising candidates to perform unique measurements in solar neutrino physics. Its features will enable it to work at depths of the order of 2000 mwe. This paper describes an estimation of the expected cosmogenic background at different depths including also the background due to fission activation of the TPC material above ground.
