IRIS : A reaction spectroscopy facility with solid H_{2}/D_{2} target
ORAL
Abstract
The charged particle reaction spectroscopy station IRIS at TRIUMF is designed to allow studies of inelastic scattering and transfer reactions for low intensity beams. To do so, a novel solid H$_2$/D$_2$ target is used in combination with a low pressure ionization chamber for the identification of incoming beam particles. The light ejectiles are measured using a $\Delta E-E$ telescope consisting of an annular silicon detector followed by CsI(Tl) array. Another $\Delta E-E$ telescope, consisting of two segmented silicon detectors, is used to identify the heavy outgoing particles. An overview of the faciltity will be given and examples from recent experiments that illustrate that facility’s capability for reaction studies of exotic nuclei will be shown.
