Abstract
An improved analysis approach that allows extraction of fusion events deep in the MuSIC@Indiana detector is described. This technique significantly advances measurement of the fusion excitation function for 20O+12C down to the 20 mb level. The new approach also yields a means for extracting the elemental yield of evaporation residues that is independent of energy loss calculations.
期刊介绍:
Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section.
Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
