A double sided silicon strip detector as a DRAGON end detector

Science

The new DRAGON facility (detector of recoils and gammas of nuclear reactions), located at the TRIUMF-ISAC Radioactive Beams facility in Vancouver, Canada, is now operational. This facility is used to study radiative proton capture reactions in inverse kinematics (heavy ion beam onta a light gaseous target) with both stable beams and radioactive beams of mass A=13-26 in the energy range 0.15-1.5 MeV/u. A double sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD) has been used to detect recoil ions. Tests have been performed to determine the performance of this DSSSD.
