Abstract:
A compact telescope array was developed and applied in the experimental study of
16C cluster structure. Good energy resolution and position resolution were achieved. There are 9 telescopes in the array. One telescope consists of two single-sided silicon strip detectors and one segmented CsI(Tl) unit. The other 8 telescopes consist of one size Si detector, one position sensitivity detector and one segmented CsI(Tl) unit. The segmented CsI(Tl) unit consists of four 25 mm×26 mm×26 mm CsI (Tl) crystals, which are coupled with photodiodes. It was tested with
241Am alpha source in different envelope and coupling methods. The working condition was optimized to get good energy resolution.
