AbstraktAbstract
In low-energy nuclear reactions of astrophysical or fusion interest the spatial- and timecorrelated detection of two and more reaction products can be a useful tool to discern reaction channels and determine partial reaction widths. For this purpose we employ a configurable array of Timepix detectors with trigger and synchronized readout by a custom-made coincidence unit. The instrumentation, developed initially for detection of fission fragments, is being implemented for neutron and light-ion induced reactions. Tests and demonstration of the technique with two Timepix detectors on p+p elastic scattering and on the reaction 11B(p,α)αα at the Van de Graaff (VdG) accelerator in Prague and the Tandem VdG accelerator of the KINR in Kiev, respectively, are presented.
