NPL Meeting, March 2015 UK Fast-Timing Array Part of STFC funded NuSTAR Project to build and commission ‘stand alone’ fast-timing gamma-ray array for use with AIDA at focal plane of (S)FRS at GSI/FAIR (part of DESPEC collaboration). People: U. Brighton (Alison Bruce, Oliver Roberts [PDRA]) U. Surrey (Paddy Regan, Zsolt Podolyak, Christopher Townsley) U. West of Scotland (John Smith, Kieran Mullholland [PhD]) STFC Daresbury Laboratory (Ian Lazarus-DAQ) U. Manchester (David Cullen, Andy Smith - design of frame). Currently have purchased: 31 LaBr3 detectors (2” x 1.5” cylinders) Cost £186,852

A Fast-Timing Array at focal plane of RITU / MARA spectrometers at University of Jyväskylä. Lifetimes of nuclear states populated in delayed spectroscopy e.g. Recoil-, proton-, isomer-, beta-, electron-tagged spectra) NPL Meeting, March 2015

Fast Timing Methods at Jyväskylä JUROGAM, RITU, GREAT and the TDR. Delayed Gammas Isomeric state PROMPT gammas Isomeric state LaBr3 Array Trigger-less Data Acquisition System NPL Meeting, March 2015

Technique Ground state Isomeric state (~100ns – several µs) Delayed γ rays but in prompt coincidence with each other (ps lifetimes) Measure LaBr3 – LaBr3 coincidences with ~200ps intrinsic LaBr3 timing resolution. Possible to extract lifetimes down to ~5ps (centroid shift) with good statistics. Isomeric state (~100ns – several µs) ~ 5ps ~ 50ps ~ 100ps Ground state NPL Meeting, March 2015

LaBr3 Project JYFL This needs physics input from community now. Status: 5 days beam time approved to test 8 LaBr3 detector array to measure lifetimes fed by delayed/isomer spectroscopy at focal plane of RITU. Experiment will likely take place in the summer 2015. Key point: Ascertain how distribution of recoils across focal plane affects measurement of short ps lifetimes. e.g. 2 events separated by a few cm will have different gamma transit times (of order of ~ps) to reach the same detector. This can be somewhat corrected for by first calibrating the effect using source measurements from various positions across the DSSD. However, this assumes you know the recoil position in the DSSD. This is easy for alpha, beta tagging, but not so obvious for isomer tagging. This needs physics input from community now. If test is successful, then we may want to investigate the possibility to place up to 28 detectors (geometry permitting) around the focal plane for campaigns of physics experiments with RITU/MARA... in ~2016/2017/2018? NPL Meeting, March 2015

Test Experiment 138Gd T1/2 = 6µs Plunger T1/2 1.8(4) ps 3.8(15) ps 106Cd(36Ar,2p2n)138Gd reaction Cross section ~100mb to 138Gd and 1% to K=8 isomer ~ 1mb NPL Meeting, March 2015

Timing setup - 1 TAC per detector Planar removed but still have clover detector above NPL Meeting, March 2015

8 Detector setup All detectors are 100mm from DSSD to LaBr front face (compared with 70mm if pack 2 directly at back as close as possible). NPL Meeting, March 2015

M. Labiche Remove planar when not needed? 138Gd isomer Range 200-600 keV NPL Meeting, March 2015

Cross sections accessible with a larger array? NPL Meeting, March 2015 This can only really be fully known once the results of the test experiment are Validated against the test experiment simulation. However, in the mean time can make order of magnitude estimate. Assume: Each LaBr detector has efficiency 0.5% DSSD efficiency for recoil detection ~ 80% If require 1000 counts in a peak to use centroid shift method, this means: g-g-g analysis requires 1000/(0.8*0.0053) ~ 1010 recoils g-g analysis requires 1000/(0.8*0.0052) ~ 50x106 recoils Using R = N φ σ and RITU transport efficiency of 30% for typical reaction (5pnA beam on 1mg/cm2 target for 7 days), Gives cross section estimated limits for LaBr-LaBr-LaBr coincidences is ~ 500 mb LaBr-LaBr-Clover coincidences is ~50 mb (using clover efficiency=5%) LaBr-LaBr coincidences is ~ 3 mb.
