Fission fragment mass reconstruction from Si surface barrier detector measurement

Nuclear Experiment 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

A method for plasma delay and pulse-height defect corrections for Si surface barrier detectors (SBD) is presented. Based on known empirical formulae, simple approximations involving the measured time-of-flight (TOF) and energy of the ions were found and a mass reconstruction procedure was developed. The procedure was applied for obtaining the fission fragment mass and angular distributions from the 64^{64} Ni+197^{197}Au reaction at 418 MeV and 383 MeV incident energy using an array of eight SBDs.
