Coincident Segmented Ancillary Detector System K600 Magnetic Spectrometer

Model: 
K600 Magnetic Spectrometer
Accessories: 
S2-1500 (DS) Silicon detectors; HYBALL TIARA MMM Silicon detectors; STM-16 Spectroscopy amplifiers; V785 12bit peak sensing ADCs; BCF10 scintillating fibres; BC408 scintillators; photomultiplier tubes; photomultiplier tube bases; scattering chamber

The ancillary detector system proposed for the K600 Magnetic Spectrometer will consist of dedicated segmented double sided Si detectors (including signal amplification and digitization electronics) placed in an scattering chamber that is designed to minimize multiple scattering prior to detection.  This will enable coincident measurements of particle-decay during high energy-resolution studies at very small scattering angles, including 0 degrees. In addition, an upgraded suite of scintillator detectors in the K600 focal plane will enable the clean detection of low energy scattered particles in the magnetic spectrometer.
