DESCRIPTION

Fragmentation of very neutron-rich projectiles around 132Sn


This experiment aims to isotopically identify and determine the production cross sections of residual nuclei in the fragmentation of very neutron-rich nuclei around 132Sn produced in the fission of 238U primary projectiles. These measurements will provide valuable information about a possible two-step reaction scheme (fission-fragmentation) to optimise the production of extremely neutron-rich nuclei in future radiaoactive bema facilities (EURISOL,FAIR). At the same time, the interaction cross section, projectile proton- and neutron-pickup cross sections and proton removal cross sections of these medium mass neutron-rich isotopes will be measured. These observables will allow to investigate basic ground state properties of those extremely nuclei, like density distributions and/or binding energies.

The experiments are performed at the SIS synchrotron accelerator at GSI which delivers the 238U beam with an energy of 1 A GeV. The beam impinge into a Pb target and the 132Sn produced by fission is isotopically identify by using the first part of a magnetic spectrometer Fragment Separator (FRS). The 132Sn produced impinges on a second reaction target of berylium for the identification of the fragments on the second part of the spectrometer.

        this command is to watch for all processes. Repeat the command until no processes run anymore.
      3. prm
        this command will invoke mbs.
      4. @startup
        to start DAQ
      5. sta acq

      If you want to dump event type

      typ ev -v

    3. From another terminal on lxg1018 type:

      mrevserv x86-8
      this command will launch the server

      To see the trigger rate, login into x86-8 as rising and type:

      rate

      To see the file rate login from another window into x86-8 and type:

      rate -fi

    How to start rfio

    1. Type:

      ssh -l risrfio lxfs32

      /lynx/Lynx/frs/usr/profi/mbsrun/s294

    2. login as profi user into x86-8 (ask for the password) and go to the correct directory:

      cd mbsrun/s294

      and then type:
      1. resa
        this command will reset all runing processes.
      2. net600
        this command is to watch for all processes. Repeat the command until no processes run anymore.
      3. prm
        this command will invoke mbs.
      4. @startup
        to start DAQ
      5. sta acq

      If you want to dump event type

      typ ev -v

    3. From another terminal on lxg1018 type:

      mrevserv x86-8
      this command will launch the server

      To see the trigger rate, login into x86-8 as rising and type:

      rate

      To see the file rate login from another window into x86-8 and type:

      rate -fi

    How to stop DAQ

    • If you are not in r3-8, move to it typing in the mbs session:

      set disp r3-8

      and type:

      stop acq

    • In case you want to logout form the mbs first look for the terminal where the remote event server was started and stop it with Ctrl^C and after, go back to the mbs session and type:

      @shutdown
