Abstract

Active-target detectors have the potential to address the difficulties associated with the low intensities of radioactive beams. We have developed an active-target detector, the Notre Dame Cube (ND-Cube), to perform experiments with radioactive beams produced at TwinSol\mathit{TwinSol} and to aid in the development of active-target techniques. Various aspects of the ND-Cube and its design were characterized. The ND-Cube was commissioned with a 7^{7}Li beam for measuring 40^{40}Ar + 7^{7}Li fusion reaction cross sections and investigating 7^{7}Li(α\alpha,α\alpha)7^{7}Li scattering events. The ND-Cube will be used to study a range of reactions using light radioactive ions produced at low energy.
