Kinematic Correction for Fast Gamma Ray Transitions using Clarion2 and Trinity

Fast gamma ray transitions often appear to be broad and hard to see accurately without correcting the emitted gamma rays for Doppler shifting. With the help of charged particle detector array Trinity, the energies of light charged particles emitted from fusion evaporation can be deduced; hence the energies and the angles of the recoil nuclei can be determined from simple kinematics. In this talk, techniques to do Doppler correction of the gamma rays from the data taken using Clarion2-Trinity at Florida State University from the reaction O16+O18 at 30 MeV will be discussed. Furthermore, preliminary results from the proton and alpha decay channels will be reported.
