Abstract

The Barrel of γ array, consisting of 640 CsI(Tl) crystals and covering a polar angle range from 36.4° to 135.6°, has been designed for the experimental terminals at High energy FRagment Separator of High-Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility in Huizhou. Together with the existing Endcap, consisting of 1024 CsI(Tl) crystals and covering a polar angle from 15.6° to 36.4°, at the External Target Facility in Lanzhou to form a new γ array, it is expected to meet the experimental requirements for in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy technique. A Monte Carlo code based on Geant4 was implemented to study the performance of the new γ array. Taking into account the Doppler correction and the intrinsic energy resolution of the detector, the energy resolution is 5.4% (FWHM) for the Endcap and 9.8% (FWHM) for the Barrel when the energy of the emitted γ-ray is 1 MeV in the Center-of-Mass frame with the beam energy of 500 MeV/u (beam velocity β = 0.759). The full-space photopeak efficiency is greater than 40% when the energy of the emitted γ-ray is less than 5 MeV in the Center-of-Mass frame and the beam energy is less than 700 MeV/u (β = 0.821). Such performance can satisfy most of the physics requirements for in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy experiments.
