Active Correlation Technique: Status andDevelopment

摘要

During the recent years, at the FLNR (JINR) a successful cycle of experiments has been accomplished on the synthesis of the superheavy elements with Z=112-118 with ~(48)Ca beam. From the viewpoint of the detection of rare decays and background suppression, this success was achieved due to the application of a new radical technique – the method of active correlations. The method employs search in a real -time mode for a pointer to a probable correlation like recoil-alpha for switching the beam off. In the case of detection in the same detector strip an additional alpha -decay event, of "beam OFF" time interval is prolonged automatically.
