A mechanically simple scattering chamber for heavy particle angular correlation studies has been designed and constructed. The chamber has provisions for controlling the motion of each of two solid state detectors. The lower detector possesses one degree of angular freedom in the horizontal plane, while the upper detector has two degrees of angular freedom and can be scanned continuously over the upper hemispherical surface. By means of external controls, the target can be tilted as well as rotated in order to accommodate to detector position.
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.
