T ransfer R eaction A rray A new position sensitive strip array Wilton Catford (Surrey, UK) with LPC Caen, Birmingham, Paisley
TiaRA : transfer reaction array • Strip detector box to fit inside EXOGAM • Position sensitive, resistive strips • Forward (& back) angle annular strips • Design aimed at coincidence transfer work • Also suits coulex and fusion-evaporation • New development, subject of new grant bid
Light particle in strip array, record angle and energy Heavier particle or sequential breakup fragment in segmented zero degree detector nucleon transfer Gamma ray(s) in EXOGAM, energy gives accurate excitation energy, even when using quite thick target
Gamma ray(s) in EXOGAM a p Evaporation residue and forward scattered beam continues beyond view of gamma array fusion- n p evaporation Light charged particles in strip array, record angle and energy for channel selection and Doppler correction Energy loss in Si gives particle ID
Scattered beam particles in strip array, measuring angle and energy for multi-step excitation in large angle scattering, and also allowing Doppler correction Forward angle scattering can be identified beyond the array, e.g. using MEGHA, for low states coulomb excitation Gamma ray(s) in EXOGAM
Position sensitive silicon strip detectors resistive strips Signal taken from each end of each strip strips each 3mm wide 50 mm square

Proposed deployment of TRA • At end of LISE in D6, using beam from LISE production target • At end of LISE in D6, using beam from SISSI production target, with energy tagging in first LISE dipole • In each of above, using 4 EXOGAM detectors in close geometry • In each of above, possibly using DEMON or sweeping magnet • With EXOGAM-12 in G2 with SISSI or SPIRAL beams • As above, with alternative MEGHA detector at forward angles • In front of VAMOS and simultaneously with EXOGAM-12 in G1
