Description
The study of nuclear fission is integral to the fundamental understanding of nuclear physics and it has significant implications in many sectors, such as energy generation, space research, and radioisotope synthesis for medical uses. With the VAriable MOde Spectrometer (VAMOS++) facility, at Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL), we are exploring the nature of nuclear fission through the application of inverse kinematics, a method that allows for a kinematic boost that yields greater kinetic energies of fission fragments relative to standard kinematics. Through the upgraded, segmented Ionization Chamber (IC) in the VAMOS++ setup, we have effectively determined and detailed the highly resolved isotopic distributions of fission fragments produced from various fusion- and transfer-induced fission reactions. This study comprises data analysis of the measurements using this IC, assessing its performance in Z-measurement in the context of current and future high-intensity particle detection requirements. The conference presentation will offer insights into the performance evaluation of the IC, with key findings and strategies for achieving unprecedented Z-resolution.
