Abstract

Active-target detectors have the potential to address the difficulties associated with the low intensities of radioactive beams. We have developed an active-target detector, the Notre Dame Cube (ND-Cube), to perform experiments with radioactive beams produced at TwinSol and to aid in the development of active-target techniques. Various aspects of the ND-Cube and its design were characterized. The ND-Cube was commissioned with a 7Li beam for measuring 40Ar + 7Li fusion reaction cross sections and investigating 7Li(α, α)7Li scattering events. The ND-Cube will be used to study a range of reactions using light radioactive ions produced at low energy.
