A simple decay-spectroscopy station at CRIS-ISOLDE

Abstract

A new decay-spectroscopy station (DSS2.0) has been designed by the CRIS collaboration for use at the radioactive ion beam facility, ISOLDE. With the design optimised for both charged-particle and γ-ray detection, the DDS2.0 allows high-efficiency decay spectroscopy to be performed. The DSS2.0 complements the existing decay-spectroscopy system at the CRIS experiment, and together provide the ability to perform laser-assisted nuclear decay spectroscopy on both ground state and long-lived isomeric species. This paper describes the new decay-spectroscopy station and presents the characterisation studies that have recently been performed.publisher: Elsevier articletitle: A simple decay-spectroscopy station at CRIS-ISOLDE journaltitle: Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment articlelink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2016.11.024 content_type: article copyright: © 2016 The Authors.
