Abstract Details

2024, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Physics and Astronomy (Arts and Sciences).
∆E-E detector systems measure both the stopping power and kinetic energy of each particle that passes through them and are especially useful in measuring reactions with multiple possible ejectiles. These system are able to produce two-dimensional data which may be filtered more easily than that from a single detector in order to identify and isolate specific particles in a reaction and obtain more accurate measurements. A ∆E-E detector system was designed and assembled for use in the Left 15 Scattering chamber at Edwards Accelerator Laboratory to measure differential cross sections and study angular distribution. The system was used to determine cross sections of 12C(6Li,p)17O, 12C(10B,p)21Ne, and 27Al(10B,p)36Ar reactions at 12, 16, and 19 MeV respectively at varying angles. These experimental cross sections were compared to theoretical values found using simulated data from the code PACE4. Experimental values were found to be in a rough agreement with simulated values. This system will be able to provide accurate measurements for reactions with multiple ejectiles in future experiments at EAL.
