The Tuda programme

Tuda是TRIUMF/ISAC的一个设施，用于探测放射性束流与稳定的同位素目标反应产生的带电粒子，重点是核天体物理。最初的设施是与爱丁堡大学(约克大学后来加入)的一个小组和TRIUMF的一个小组合作建立的。这些实验的探测器，无论是现有的还是拟议的，大部分都是由合作的英国部分提供的，而TRIUMF和NSERC提供了基础设施和人员帮助。除了核天体物理计划外，圣玛丽小组领导的一些核结构实验也在TUDA进行。这些实验的探测器由圣玛丽提供。2008年5月/6月，TUDA合作成功地完成了一项测量^18F(p，α)^15O反应的核天体物理实验，因为^18F束流已在TRIUMF获得。由于放射束发展缓慢，该合作提出的许多实验，特别是在核天体物理学方面的实验，仍然需要执行。至于原子结构实验，Tuda已经并将用于TRIUMF实验1056、1057和1147，这些实验涉及^8Li、^9Li、^9C、^11Li的散射，不涉及英国的合作伙伴。另一个建议的实验是测量^14C(α，伽马)^18O(S1152)反应。由于^14C具有较长的半衰期，具有放射性，因此可用于商业用途，我们计划使用OLIS离线离子源来运行它。这需要一些专用设备(带有捕集器的特殊粗加工部分)。我们即将提出一个实验来测量^26Al(n，p)(n，alpa)反应，该实验使用TRIUMF注入的靶和洛斯阿拉莫斯的丹斯装置。我们还参与了荷兰格罗宁根KVI的一项实验，该实验涉及在^12C上的阿尔法散射。在TUDA小组中，有一名博士后研究员(Goetz Ruprecht)，我们希望保持这一职位。这个人也参与了战术探测器的开发。到目前为止，我们已经证明，这样的人对于建立和计划所有的实验都非常有价值。我们还聘请了一名与UBC(P.布鲁斯凯维奇)合作的研究生。

TUDA is a facility at TRIUMF/ISAC to detect charged particles emanating from reactions of radioactive beams with a stable isotopic target emphasizing nuclear astrophysics. The original facility was set up in collaboration with a group from the University of Edinburgh (the University of York joined later) and a group at TRIUMF. Detectors for these experiments, existing or proposed, have been largely provided by the British part of the collaboration, while TRIUMF and NSERC provided for the infrastructure an help with personnel. Besides the nuclear astrophysics program some nuclear structure experiments led by the Saint Mary's group are also performed at TUDA. The detectors for these experiments are provided by Saint Mary's. In May/June of 2008 the TUDA collaboration has successfully completed an experiment in nuclear astrophysics measuring the ^18F(p,alpha)^15O reaction as ^18F beams have become available at TRIUMF. Many experiments proposed by this collaboration particularly in nuclear astrophysics still need execution due to the slow development of radioactive beams. As for Nuclear Structure experiments Tuda has been and will be used for TRIUMF Experiments 1056, 1057, and 1147 involving scattering of ^8Li, ^9Li, ^9C, ^11Li not involving partners from the UK. Another experiment proposed is a measurement of the ^14C(alpha,gamma)^18O (S1152) reaction. As the ^14C is radioactive with a long half-life it is commercially available and we plan to run it from the OLIS off line ion source. This requires some dedicated equipment (a special roughing section with traps). We are about to propose an experiment to measure the ^26Al(n,p)(n,alpa) reactions using a TRIUMF implanted target and the DANSE facility at Los Alamos. We are also participating in an experiment at the KVI, Groningen, the Netherlands, involving alpha scattering on ^12C. Within the TUDA group a postdoctoral fellow (Goetz Ruprecht) is available and we wish to keep it so. This individual is also involved with the development of the TACTIC detector. Such a person has proven to be extremely valuable to set up and plan for all the experiments, we did so far. We also employ a graduate student in conjunction with UBC (P. Bruskiewich).
