Detector set-up for measuring the e-nu correlation in He-6 beta decay
ORAL
Abstract
Our experiment aims to extract the $e-\bar{\nu_{e}}$ angular correlation by measuring the momenta of the betas and the TOF of the $^6Li$ recoil ions in the decay of $^6He$. In my talk, I will provide an overview of the detectors within our trapping volume, including the electric field system used to guide the recoil ions toward the microchannel plate + delay line detector. Using example data and simulation, I will discuss some of the high voltage application issues that arose during testing and how we remedied them.
