The Active-Target Time Projection Chamber experimental campaign at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics

ORAL  · Invited

Abstract

The Active Target Time Projection (AT-TPC) developed by the Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams (FRIB) in Michigan, USA, has been used in a variety of nuclear physics experiments, with measurements of cross sections in low energy transfer reactions, the detection of rare decays in nuclei, and the study of proton-induced fission reactions.

The AT-TPC will be used at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) in Osaka, Japan for an experimental campaign of 6 experiments, with over 30 days of beam time.

I will present the physics and goals for all these experiments, that range from nuclear structure studies using (d,p) and (d,3He) transfer reactions, to an α cluster study of 24Mg.

With the recent RCNP upgrade, we have been working on the coupling of AT-TPC in the EN-beam line that will house the detector and on the best configuration of the detector, and are prepared for experiments in the near future.

*This material is based on work supported by multiple funding sources in the US, Spain, Japan.., from multiple institutions over the world, not limited to FRIB, RCNP, and USC,..., coming from our collaborators in this campaign.
