Abstract:
The CRYRING@ESR facility at FAIR is capable of providing a wide range of high quality ion beams, therefore playing a key role in precision spectroscopy and fundamental studies in atomic and nuclear physics ahead of FAIR's full-scale operations. The beam diagnostic systems required for such experiments need to be compatible with ultra-high vacuum conditions, high mechanical stress, large variations in temperature, and repeated exposure to radiation. Previous contributions of the IFIN-HH team saw the installation of a state-of-the-art YAP:Ce detector which meets these stringent criteria and is now used for in-beam experiments. However, being based on a bulk scintillator, it lacks position sensitivity. The present work describes the team’s current efforts to contribute to building a position sensitive detector, especially in the areas of material choice and in-beam testing.
