Transfer reaction measurements using SNACK at KoBRA

Abstract

KoBRA can produce RI beams with energies of 5–10 MeV/u from stable ion beams (10–40 MeV/u) delivered from the superconducting linear accelerator SLC3 of RAON. In its early phase of operation, transfer reaction measurements with these RI beams can be performed for nuclear astrophysics studies. SNACK has been developed at RISP in order to measure the light ejectiles from the transfer reactions. With the beam trajectories obtained from upstream PPACs, excitation energy levels in the heavy recoils can be reconstructed by measuring light ejectile’s energies and scattering angles. The expected results of transfer reaction measurements with SNACK and KoBRA beamline detectors were calculated by using a Monte Carlo simulation.
