Search for Cluster Structure in $^{14}$C by Investigation of $^{10}$Be($^4$He,$^4$He) Scattering with the Prototype AT-TPC

ORAL

Abstract

A half-scale prototype Active Target-Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC) was built at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) as part of the development of the eventual full-scale AT-TPC device. The prototype AT-TPC was used to investigate $^{14}$C cluster structures by way of a 40 MeV $^{10}$Be beam incident on He:CO$_2$ gas at the University of Notre Dame in October 2011. The $^{10}$Be beam was produced by Notre Dame's Twinsol before being delivered to the prototype AT-TPC. Elastic and inelastic scattering of $^{10}$Be on $^4$He were observed and will be presented.
