“…Position information from the cathode readout drift chambers (CRDCs) in the focal plane detection system was combined with trajectory reconstruction through the spectrograph using the COSY INFINITY code [19] to reconstruct both the longitudinal and transverse momentum distributions at the target position. In order to minimize error from events with trajectories near the physical limits of the spectrograph the acceptance was limited to +/− 4.07 % in momentum in the longitudinal direction and +/− 52.2 mrad in the transverse direction.…”

Background: Momentum distributions of fragmentation products as a function of fragment mass have been used to study the fragmentation mechanism. The parallel component of the momentum distribution has been well studied previously and modeled. The perpendicular component however is much less measured or understood.Purpose: Measure both components of the linear momentum of a wide range of fragmentation products and compare the widths of the momentum distributions to previous results and descriptions.Method: The parallel and perpendicular components of the momentum vector have been measured for projectilelike fragments produced in the reactions of 76 Ge with 9 Be and 197 Au at 130 MeV/nucleon in a magnetic spectrometer.Results: The measured parallel momentum distributions of all fragments follow established systematics. The perpendicular momentum distributions of fragments produced by fragmentation by the 197 Au target with masses near that of the projectile exhibit a clear peak near the momentum corresponding to the grazing angle that diminishes with decreasing fragment mass. Conclusions:The interplay between Coulomb and nuclear scattering can be used to describe results for the most peripheral collisions.

“…The energy information is given by the 16 strip silicon detector which also provides the timing for the stop signal. The TOF-E detector setup, the MCP mounted in the electrostatic mirror configuration, the COSY Infinity [10] simulation of the electrons that reach the MCP and the calculation of the detection of the TOF-E detector for 235 U, 236 U 5+ and 238 U are shown in figure 1.…”

Abstract. Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is presently the most sensitive technique for the measurement of long-lived actinides, e.g. 236 U and x Pu isotopes. A new actinide AMS system, based on a 3-MV pelletron tandem accelerator, is operated at the Center for Isotopic Research on Cultural and Environmental Heritage (CIRCE) in Caserta, Italy. In this paper we report on the procedure adopted to increase the 236 U abundance sensitivity as low as possible. The energy and position determinations of the 236 U ions, using a 16-strip silicon detector have been obtained. A 236 U/ 238 U isotopic ratio background level of about 2.9×10 −11 was obtained, summing over all the strips, using a Time of Flight-Energy (TOF-E) system with a 16-strip silicon detector (4.9×10 −12 just with one strip).

“…For example, assessment of field-error effects on the beam transport must be made to define acceptance criteria for the magnets. This will require use of sophisticated tracking codes, such as COSY [114], Zgoubi [115], or PTC [116], that permit rigorous treatment of field errors and fringe-field effects.…”

Neutrino Factories offer an exciting option for the long-term neutrino physics program. This new type of neutrino facility will provide beams with unique properties. Low systematic uncertainties at a Neutrino Factory, together with a unique and precisely known neutrino flavor content, will enable neutrino oscillation measurements to be made with unprecedented sensitivity and precision. Over recent years, the resulting neutrino factory physics potential has been discussed extensively in the literature. In addition, over the last six years the R&D necessary to realize a Neutrino Factory has been progressing, and has developed into a significant international activity. It is expected that, within about five more years, the initial phase of this R&D program will be complete and, if the community chooses to build this new type of neutrino source within the following decade, neutrino factory technology will be ready for the final R&D phase prior to construction. In this paper (i ) an overview is given of the technical ingredients needed for a Neutrino Factory, (ii ) beam properties are described, (iii ) the resulting neutrino oscillation physics potential is summarized, (iv ) a more detailed description is given for one representative Neutrino Factory design, and (v ) the ongoing R&D program is summarized, and future plans briefly described.
