Secondary beams of radioactive nuclei open up new opportunities in nuclear
structure studies and also bring extra requirements for position sensitive
detectors. Individual incident beam particles often need to be tracked, and then
the angles and energies of reaction products need to be recorded with
extraordinarily high efficiency to compensate for low beam currents of less than...

Nuclear structure studies utilizing the technique of gamma ray
spectroscopy requires the use of state of the art detector systems.
The advent of highly segmented High-Purity Germanium detectors and
the method of Pulse Shape Analysis to determine the positions of
interactions [1] will allow for greatly improved efficiency as well
as excellent angular resolution. The Advanced Gamma...

Two photon emission is a second order nuclear decay process which
can, in principle, compete with any single photon or electron decay
mechanism. In practice, such a process is very difficult to observe
in the presence of a competing single-photon decay due to it being
indistinguishable from Compton scattering. The two-photon branch
can, however, be distinguished where no single...

Three approaches to the measurement of a rare alpha decaying
products produced in heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions are
described. One is based on a chemical extraction and following
deposition of the nuclides under investigation onto the surface of
the detector, whereas the second one is associated with long –lived
products implanted into silicon detectors by using the...

We present an array of position sensitive detectors designed for the
work with the beam of radioactive nuclei delivered by the separator
ACCULINNA /1/. It is in use in the studies made on the structures of
light nuclei with extreme neutron excess /2/. A pair multi wire
proportional chambers (MWPC) installed in the front of a target is
used for the measurement of the hit co-ordinates...
