Germanium Detector Array at the FMA Focal Plane
Description
Preliminary radioactive beam coulex experiments have been performed at the FMA
using the Yale gamma array at the back of the FMA (photo
#1, photo #2). Future experiments are
planned, but it is unclear what array will be used at the back of the FMA. For
more information contact Kim Lister ([email protected]).
A different application of focal plane Ge detectors is in the study of fine
structure in radioactive decay. A single Ge detector is often placed directly
behind the DSSD chamber and records the energy and time of gamma rays emitted in
decay events.
