Active target detectors and associated electronics
Oral Presentation
The FIPPS (Fission Product Prompt gamma-ray Spectrometer) project was presented during the Vision 2020 conference in Grenoble in 2010 and is now part of the ILL ENDURANCE program. It addresses two fundamental domains of nuclear physics: fission of heavy elements and structure of neutron rich matter. Neutron capture induced reactions provide a valuable way to investigate these domains. The...

Active target detectors and associated electronics
Oral Presentation
Nuclear physics and engineering communities call for new, high precision measurements to improve existing models for understanding fission and designing next generation reactors. The Neutron Induced Fission Fragment Tracking experiment (NIFFTE) has developed the fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) to measure neutron induced fission cross-sections with unrivaled precision. The...

Oral Presentation
Nuclear data play a vital role in nuclear energy and defense applications. The community heavily relies on simulations and modelling, and therefore on available data and their uncertainties. The Neutron Induced Fission Fragment Tracking Experiment (NIFFTE) collaboration employs a fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) to measure fundamental nuclear data with unprecedented precision. The...

Active target detectors and associated electronics
Oral Presentation
Many experiments with fast energetic beams require an open geometry allowing, in some cases, the identification of heavy residues downstream in a magnetic spectrometer or detection of particles in ancillary detectors. An optimized and portable Active Target detector is essential to accommodate a broad experimental program and the coupling to a wide range of equipment the science requires. We...

Physics and Experiments
Oral Presentation
The investigation of light-ion induced reactions using radioactive beams in inverse kinematics gives access to a wide field of nuclear structure studies in the region far off stability. The experimental concept of active targets was already proven to be a usefull tool for such investigations, in particular in the region of low momentum transfer.
The world wide first experiments with...
