Abstract
A 4π multidetector light-charged particle and light fragment detection spectrometer is described. It consists of 95 CsI(T1) scintillators closely packed to cover the angular range 4.0°–172°, arranged in 9 rings with increasing forward segmentation. The device is optimally designed to be used in conjunction with Gammasphere. The scintillator light is collected by silicon photodiodes that provide high quantum efficiency and minimal mass. The signals are processed through a charge sensitive preamplifier followed by a slow shaper. Particle identification for 1,2,3H, 3,4He ions and Li, Be and B ions is accomplished by pulse shape discrimination. The geometry, construction, energy calibration, gain stability, associated integrated electronics and the data acquisition system are discussed. The capabilities of this spectrometer as a channel selecting device in conjunction with Gammasphere are discussed. A second version of the device with thicker scintillators, that can stop more energetic charged particles and is useful for reaction mechanism studies, is also described.
