The Active-Target Time Projection Chamber experimental campaign at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics

The Active Target Time Projection (AT-TPC) developed by the Facility for Rare Isotopes Beams (FRIB) in Michigan, USA, has been used in a variety of nuclear physics experiments, with measurements of cross sections in low energy transfer reactions, the detection of rare decays in nuclei, and the study of proton-induced fission reactions.

The AT-TPC will be used at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) in Osaka, Japan for an experimental campaign of 6 experiments, with over 30 days of beam time.

I will present the physics and goals for all these experiments, that range from nuclear structure studies using (d,p) and (d,3He) transfer reactions, to an α cluster study of 24Mg.

With the recent RCNP upgrade, we have been working on the coupling of AT-TPC in the EN-beam line that will house the detector and on the best configuration of the detector, and are prepared for experiments in the near future.
