First tests of the ND-Cube Active-Target Detector

ORAL

Abstract

Active-target detectors are becoming a ubiquitous tool for studying reactions both with radioactive and stable beams due to their high efficiency and tracking abilities. We are developing the active-target detector ND-Cube at the University of Notre Dame for studies in nuclear clustering, reactions for nuclear astrophysics, and fusion reactions with radioactive beams. The ND-Cube will also serve as a development platform for Micropattern Gas Detector designs, and detector optimization. Progress on the development of the ND-Cube will be presented including the plans for using a laser system for in-situ drift velocity measurements. The ND-Cube will enable a wide range of measurements that can take advantage of radioactive beams produced at Notre Dame’s Nuclear Science Laboratory in the light mass region.
