Abstract
In this paper, we aim to present the detector developments for the HISPEC/DESPEC (HIgh-resolution in-flight SPECtroscopy/DEcay SPECtroscopy) collaboration at the Slovenian Nuclear Instrumentation Laboratory. The telescope array will be one of the crucial tracking detectors of the HISPEC-10 campaign. A prototype of the telescope was constructed along with its cooling. For fast timing measurements, a time resolution of the implantation detectors better than 1 ns and the capability to detect and distinguish between ion implantation and subsequent decays are needed. Scintillating fibres are used for a Fibre IMPlanter (FIMP) to fulfil these requirements. DEGAS (DEspec Germanium Array Spectrometer) is a key instrument of DESPEC and is planned to be operated in most future experimental campaigns. To further improve the sensitivity of the array, shielding of the environmental background with active and passive components is planned. Shielding directly behind the HPGe detectors is based on the BGO scintillation detectors. The BGO detector was characterized, and its performance was compared with a simple gamma-ray propagation simulation.
