Implications on obtained data, electronics and DAQ-system by the use of dense detector setups in beta-decay studies

Abstract

Beta-decay investigations of light nuclei close to the drip lines have revealed new and intriguing features of nuclear structure. However, to fully investigate the decay pattern of these nuclei, new detector systems with an increased granularity have to be implemented. The use of segmented detectors as, for example, the Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors has thus proven to give fantastic improvements on the quality of the obtained data. The extra granularity allows for discrimination between sequentially or directly emitted charged particles and thus to follow decay patterns of delayed particle emission.
