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.
