The stopping powers of CaFz and MOOS for " 0 and " F were measured with heavysubstrate Rutherford backscattering technique. The present results are compared with the prediction of Bragg's rule, and strong deviation was observed. The experimental error is 5% or so.
Correlation measurements of neutrons and fragments have been performed in a reaction of 33.4 MeV/u " N on a ' B e target. Energy spectra of n and nitrogen fragments were obtained at different angles. Based on the nuclear diffraction dissociation model, the measured energy spectra and the neutron angular distributions were reproduced quite well assuming that 17N was composed of 16N and n or 15N and 2n interacting with the nonlocal separable potential. The satisfactory agreement between the theoretical calculations and the experimental data shows that the contribution of Coulomb dissociation is negligible in the reaction concerned.
To perform a kinematically complete measurement of the dissociation reaction for neutron-rich nuclei, a multi-neutron correlation spectrometer is proposed at Peking University. A Monte Carlo simulation code based on GEANT4 is developed for a single scintillation bar which processes not only the energy deposition but also the light propagation in the scintillator and the light collection and conversion to signal at the end of the bar in a realistic way. The simulating method is described in detail in this paper, and the timing and position resolutions and detector efficiency are studied based on the simulation and compared with the experimental results. A new method of crosstalk rejection has been demonstrated to be important for the design of the whole spectrometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
