Multicounter system for high-multiplicy γ-ray cascades: Performances and first experiment at the Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A multicounter system for high-multiplicity γ-ray cascade measurements has been designed. The detection system, consisting of 12 NaI(Tl) scintillation counters, is described. Tests concerning highmultiplicity cascade detection probability and cross-talk are discussed. Performances of the multiplicity filter in investigations on nuclei at very high spin produced in heavy-ion fusion are presented.

Riassunto

È stato realizzato un sistema a molti rivelatori per misure di cascate γ di elevata molteplicità. Si descrive il sistema di rivelazione costituito da 12 contatori a scintillazione NaI(Tl). Sono presentate le prove riguardanti il cross-talk e la probabilità di rivelare cascate di elevata molteplicità. Sono descritte le prestazioni del filtro nello studio di nuclei ad alto spin prodotti in reazioni di fusione con ioni pesanti.
