Development of tracking detector for transfer reactions with light beams at NSCL

ORAL

Abstract

We report on the development of new beam tracking detectors to be used at NSCL. The new devices will address the current limitations on position resolution and open up the possibilities for transfer reaction experiments with light (Z$<$10) beams. The proposed design, likely based on a low pressure multiwire proportional chamber, and possible first experiments to take advantage of these detectors will be discussed. This work is supported by the Center of Excellence for Radioactive Ion Beam Studies for Stewardship Science.
