Characterization of Nuclear Sources from Neutron-neutron, Proton-proton and Neutron-proton Correlation Functions

Two-neutron, two-proton and neutron–proton correlation functions have been measured simultaneously for the E/A=45 MeV 58 Ni + 27 Al reaction. Calculations from a statistical model have been compared to singles energy spectra as well as to total and gated correlation functions. This imposes very strong constraints on the model parameters. The use of directionally gated correlation functions helps to disentangle space and time information. Values of Gaussian radii, emission lifetimes, initial temperatures, source velocities and flow velocities are extracted. Correlation functions gated on total momentum of the nucleon pairs suggest that more energetic particles are emitted on a fast time scale ( < 100 fm / c ) and that the fraction of pre-equilibrium to equilibrium emission is larger for protons than for neutrons.

CHICSi - a 3pi Multi-detector System for Studying Heavy Ion Interactions Inside a Storage Ring

Abstract CHICSi — a 3π multi-detector system is presented. The setup consists of 576 ultra high vacuum compatible telescopes to study intermediate energy heavy ion as well as proton induced collisions at storage rings operating in slow ramping mode. Primary it will be installed at the gas-jet target station of the CELSIUS facility at The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala.

Characterization of nuclear sources via two-neutron intensity interferometry

The neutron energy spectrum and the two-neutron correlation function have been measured for the E/A = 45 MeV Ni + Al reaction in order to assess the space-time characteristics of the neutron emitting source. When comparing the data to a statistical model,
