Description
The TUDA facility (TRIUMF UK Detector Array) consists of a silicon strip array for
the study of charged particle reactions of astrophysical interest in inverse
kinematics. TUDA addresses the challenges presented by investigating such
reactions, using both direct and indirect techniques. In particular, the low
energies and low cross sections involved require the use of highly segemented,
large solid angle detectors with excellent energy and timing resolution. TUDA is
designed to be highly versatile and the experimental configuration can be optimised
to the requirements of each individual measurement. An overview of TUDA will be
presented together with experimental results and a discussion of the future
programme.
