STUDIES OF NEUTRON-RICH NUCLEI WITH THE CLARA-PRISMA SETUP AND DESCRIPTION OF THE HEAVY-ION DETECTOR DANTE

摘要

The CLARA-PRISMA setup is a powerful tool for spectroscopic studies of neutron-rich nuclei produced in multi-nucleon transfer and deep-inelastic reactions. It combines the large acceptance spectrometer PRISMA with the γ-ray array CLARA. Currently at LNL is being constructed the heavy-ion detector DANTE, based on Micro-Channel Plates, that will be installed at the CLARA-PRISMA setup. DANTE will open the possibility of measuring γ-γ Doppler-corrected coincidences for the events outside the acceptance of PRISMA. In this manuscript some results obtained with the CLARA-PRISMA setup will be discussed, in addition to the description and performance of the first prototype for the heavy-ion detector DANTE.
