Project Details
Description
An array of six LaBr3 scintillator detectors (2 from MEC, 4 from Nuclear Physics) will be assembled
to enable measurements of nuclear lifetimes and other nuclear phenomena on the sub-nanosecond
time scale. Lanthanum bromide (LaBr3) is a new scintillator material giving excellent energy
resolution as well as excellent time resolution. The excellent energy resolution opens a new domain
for studies of the electromagnetic properties of nuclear quantum states excited by heavy-ion
reactions by enabling lines of interest to be selected within a complex gamma-ray spectrum.
