“…At FAIR we get high energy and high intensity of primary ion beams because of the addition of heavy-ion synchrotron(SIS 100/300) with previous GSI facility. After exiting from SIS 100/300 synchrotron, the primary ion beams will incident on a thin isotopic production target (positioned after the double ring synchrotron) can generate secondary rare isotopic ion beams up to 1.5AGeV [3],which will be delivered to R3B (Reactions with Radioactive Relativistic Beams) experimental setup at FAIR.In R3B, the high-energy rare isotopic ion beams /radioactive ion beams (RIBs) incident on a fixed target and will emit different particles like protons, neutrons, gamma rays, heavy ions, etc [4][5][6]. In the R3B experimental setup, the silicon tracker is positioned closest to the target region within a vacuum vessel [7].…”

The R3B collaboration aims to assemble an experimental setup with high resolution and efficiency to perform kinematically complete measurements of reactions with high-energy RIBs (radioactive ion beams). In the R3B experimental setup, the silicon tracker is positioned closest to the target region and can provide high-resolution position measurements of light-charged particles like protons. The three layers of the silicon tracker are constructed with a total of 30 Si double-sidedstrip detectors (DSSD). In this paper, as an option of 23 MeV proton irradiated n-type Float-Zone(Fz)Si double-sidedstrip detector (DSSD) havebeen considered, and by taking the two-trapproton irradiation damage model, the bulk damage effect and the macroscopic performance of the Sidouble-sidedstrip detector (DSSD) have been discussed. The detector is irradiated with three values of proton fluences (equivalent to 1Mev neutron fluence): 2×1014,5×1014 and 8×1014 cm-2. By using the Shockley-Read-Hall recombination (SRH) formulation, the full depletion voltage and leakage current have been measured as a function of the irradiation dose, finally the device and process parameters and specifications for the Si double-sidedstrip detector (DSSD) used in the R3B silicon tracker experimenthavebeen proposed.

“…As a consequence, there is still little experimental information on the quantities needed for astrophysics. Although much progress is being made to measure masses and half-lives [10][11][12][13][14] and there are promising perspectives for the next future in the new facilities at FAIR [15], RIBF-RIKEN [16], and FRIB-MSU [17], the astrophysical simulations of the r process must still rely on extrapolations of the available data or on predictions from theoretical nuclear models. Obviously, these models must prove first their reliability by reproducing the available data, which in the case of decay properties means half-lives and Gamow-Teller strength distributions measured in the laboratory.…”

“…The results are compared with the available experimental information on half-lives [41] and with other theoretical calculations [37][38][39][40]. Thus, after testing the capability of the method to reproduce the measured half-lives, predictions are made in more exotic nuclei including some of the isotopes that are planned to be measured in the future [15][16][17]. Also important for astrophysics are the GT strength distributions because they contain the underlying nuclear structure.…”

In this paper, β-decay properties of even-even neutron-rich isotopes in the rare-earth mass region are studied within a microscopic theoretical approach based on a proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation. The underlying mean field is constructed self-consistently from a deformed Hartree-Fock calculation with Skyrme interactions and pairing correlations to which particle-hole and particle-particle residual interactions are added. Nuclei in this mass region participate in the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process and are directly involved in the generation of the rare-earth peak in the isotopic abundance pattern centered at A 160. The energy distributions of the Gamow-Teller strength as well as the β-decay half-lives and the β-delayed neutron-emission probabilities are discussed and compared with the available experimental information and with calculations based on different approaches.

“…The ongoing construction of a new infrastructure for producing radioactive ion beams named FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) in Darmstadt will provide for very exotic beams. Using the future R 3 B setup at FAIR, several important topics will be addressed [2,14]. These include the dipole response and giant resonance studies of very neutron rich heavy nuclei, the precise determination of the strength function at the particle threshold for nuclei of astrophysical relevance, nuclear structure investigations via the quasifree scattering method, and the investigation of unbound resonances for lighter particles.…”

Silicon photomultiplier readout of a monolithic 270×5×5 cm 3 plastic scintillator bar for time of flight applications

The detection of 200-1000 MeV neutrons requires large amounts, ∼100 cm, of detector material because of the long nuclear interaction length of these particles. In the example of the NeuLAND neutron time-of-flight detector at FAIR, this is accomplished by using 3000 monolithic scintillator bars of 270×5×5 cm 3 size made of a fast plastic. Each bar is read out on the two long ends, and the needed time resolution of σ t < 150 ps is reached with fast timing photomultipliers. In the present work, it is investigated whether silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) photosensors can be used instead. Experiments with a picosecond laser system were conducted to determine the timing response of the assembly made up of SiPM and preamplifier. The response of the full system including also the scintillator was studied using 30 MeV single electrons provided by the ELBE superconducting electron linac. The ELBE data were matched by a simple Monte Carlo simulation, and they were found to obey an inverse-square-root scaling law. In the electron beam tests, a time resolution of σ t = 136 ps was reached with a pure SiPM readout, well within the design parameters for NeuLAND.
