Abstract
Relatively large yields of various exotic beams produced through in-flight fragmentation are available at LNS. Using the CHIMERA detector, we performed various experiments to study elastic and inelastic scattering, transfer, break-up, and reaction dynamics with targets from proton and deuteron to carbon and heavier. For reactions with relatively light systems we used the kinematical coincidence method to extract high resolution angular distributions of binary reactions from the measured light particle energy spectra. We also used the CsI detectors of CHIMERA to detect gamma rays emitted in the reactions. Some of most recent results are presented together with future perspectives with the coupling of CHIMERA with FARCOS array.
Highlights
After the recent intensity upgrade [1] of the LNS fragmentation beam, relatively large yields of various neutron rich and poor exotic beams, from 20 to 50 MeV/A, are available
The kinematical coincidence method was developed in order to extract angular distributions, with resolution of the order of 1o, in the center of mass frame (CM) [5]
The tagging system is an evolution of the first tagging system used for fragmentation experiment at LNS [8]. It is based on the use of a 32x32 strips double side silicon strip detector (DSSSD) measuring the energy loss of the impinging beam particles
Summary
After the recent intensity upgrade [1] of the LNS fragmentation beam, relatively large yields of various neutron rich and poor exotic beams, from 20 to 50 MeV/A, are available. The first one programmed (CLIR experiment) will use again the 16C cocktail beam, produced by 18O fragmentation, in order to study break-up reactions on 12C target. With such reactions we want to study exotic structures as α-n chaines in nuclei as 10Be or 16C trying to improve recent results [6]. The tagging system is an evolution of the first tagging system used for fragmentation experiment at LNS [8] It is based on the use of a 32x32 strips double side silicon strip detector (DSSSD) measuring the energy loss of the impinging beam particles. The position information provided combining DSSSD and PPAC allows to extract the beam trajectory, and it is very useful to sketch the beam profile at the target position
