摘要: The cooling storage ring (CSR) external-target experiment (CEE) is a spectrometer used in construction to study the properties of nuclear matter inhigh-baryon density regionsat the Heavy-Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou(HIRFL). This study presentsthe design, simulation, manufacturing,and testingof ahalf-size prototype of amulti-wire drift chamber (MWDC) for the CEE. First, theperformance of the MWDCconnected tohome-made electronics was simulated. The results demonstratedthat an energy resolution of 18.5% for 5.9-keVX-rays and a position resolution of 194 um for protons can be achieved bythe current design. Becausethe size of the largest MWDCreached176× 314 cm, a set of 98× 98 cm prototypes was built using the new techniques. The positioning accuracy of the anode wires inthis prototype exceeded20 um. After optimizationusing commercially available electronicdevices, the prototype achievedan energy resolution of 19.7% for a 55FeX-ray source. The CEE-MWDCdetector and electronics were simultaneouslytested. An energy resolution of 22% was achievedfor the 55Fesource;the track residuals were approximately330 umfor the cosmic rays. The results demonstrate that the current design and techniquesmeet the requirementsof the CEE-MWDCarray.

摘要: The energetic bremsstrahlung photons up to 100 MeV produced in heavy ion collisions can be used as asensitive probe to the short range correlation in atomic nuclei. The energy of the -rays can be measuredby collecting theˇCerenkov light in medium induced by the fast electrons generated in Compton scattering orelectromagnetic shower of the incident ray. Two types of detectors, based on pure water and lead glass asthe sensitive material respectively, are designed for the above purpose. The response and optical photonpropagation in detectors have been simulated based on the electromagnetic and optical processes in Geant4.The inherent energy resolution of 0.022(4) + 0.51(2)/E 1/2 for water and 0.0026(3) + 0.446(3)/E 1/2 forlead glass are obtained. The geometry size of lead glass and water are optimized at 30 30 30 cm3 and60 60 120 cm3 , respectively, for detecting high energy -rays at 160 MeV. Hough transform method hasbeen applied to reconstruct the direction of the incident -rays, giving the ability to distinguish experimentallythe high-energy rays produced in the reactions on the target from the random background cosmic ray muons.

摘要: The intensity interferometry is applied as a chronometer of the particle emission of hydrogen isotopes from the intermediate velocity source formed in $^{40}$Ar+$^{197}$Au reactions at 30 MeV/u. The dynamic emission order of $ tau_{ rm p}> tau_{ rm d}> tau_{ rm t}$ is evidenced via the correlation functions of nonidentical particle pairs. Assuming the similar source size, the same emission order is inferred from the correlation functions of identical particle pairs, where $ tau_{ rm p} approx 100 { rm ~fm/c}$ is extracted by the fit of Koonin-Pratt equation to p-p correlation function. Transport model simulations demonstrate that the dynamic emission order of light charged particles depends on the stiffness of the nuclear symmetry energy.

摘要: The Compact Spectrometer for Heavy Ion Experiment (CSHINE) is under construction for the study of isospin chronology via the Hanbury Brown$-$Twiss (HBT) particle correlation function and the nuclear equation of state of asymmetrical nuclear matter. The CSHINE consists of silicon strip detector (SSD) telescopes and large-area parallel plate avalanche counters, which measure the light charged particles and fission fragments, respectively. In phase I, two SSD telescopes were used to observe 30 MeV/u $^{40}$Ar +$^{197}$Au reactions. The results presented here demonstrate that hydrogen and helium were observed with high isotopic resolution, and the HBT correlation functions of light charged particles could be constructed from the obtained data.

摘要: The neutron rich neck zone created in heavy ion reaction is experimentally probed by the production of the $A=3$ isobars. The energy spectra and angular distributions of triton and $^3$He are measured with the CSHINE detector in $^{86}$Kr +$^{208}$Pb reactions at 25 MeV/u. While the energy spectrum of $^{3}$He is harder than that of triton, known as $^{3}$He-puzzle, the yield ratio $R({ rm t/^3He})$ presents a robust rising trend with the polar angle in laboratory. Using the fission fragments to reconstruct the fission plane, the enhancement of out-plane $R({ rm t/^3He})$ is confirmed in comparison to the in-plane ratios. Transport model simulations reproduce qualitatively the experimental trends, but the quantitative agreement is not achieved. The results demonstrate that a neutron rich neck zone is formed in the reactions. Further studies are called for to understand the clustering and the isospin dynamics related to neck formation.

摘要: Two-body correlations of the isotope-resolved light and heavy clusters are measured in 86Kr+ 208Pb reactions at 25 MeV/u. The yield and kinetic variables of the A = 3 isobars, triton and 3He, are analyzed in coincidence with the heavy clusters of 7 A 14 emitted at the earlier chance. While the velocity spectra of both triton and 3He exhibit scaling behavior over the type of the heavy clusters, the yield ratios of t/ 3He correlate reversely to the neutron-to-proton ratio N/Z of the latter, showing the ping-pong modality of the N/Z of emitted clusters. The commonality that the N/Z of the residues keeps the initial system value is extended to the cluster emission in heavy ion reactions. The comparison of transport model calculations to the data is discussed.

摘要: A trigger system has been designed and implemented for the HIRFL-CSR external target experiment (CEE), the spectrometer for studying nuclear matter properties with heavy ion collisions in the GeV energy region. The system adopts master-slave structure and serial data transmission mode using optical fiber to deal with different types of detectors and long-distance signal transmission. The trigger logic can be accessed based on command register and controlled by a remote computer. The overall field programmable gate array (FPGA) logic can be flexibly reconfigured online to match the physical requirements of the experiment. The trigger system has been tested in beam experiment. It is demonstrated that the trigger system functions correctly and meets the physical requirements of CEE.
