Abstract:Silicon-based solid-state detectors (SSDs) are crucial for investigating the properties of superheavy elements (SHEs), since they measure the energy of SHEs and charged particles that are emitted as successive decay events of the SHEs. We have developed a segmented SSD for SHE studies using the new gas-filled recoil ion separators (GARIS-II and GARIS-III) at RIKEN. It is based on a back-illuminated Si PIN photodiode in which the irradiation is through the N+ layer. The detector is introduced as a side one for … Show more
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.
