Currently the group has been involved in experiments with BINA detector and WASA detectors. Experiments from the past namely GEM and SALAD are also shown below. GEM and SALAD are not operational anymore, however, it is important to know about them in order to have an idea for present day’s improved and high precision Experiments.
BINA (Big Instrument for Nuclear-polarization Analysis):
BINA is an updated version of previous SALAD detector. Both SALAD and BINA were constructed at KVI in Groningen. BINA detector was operational from 2004 to 2011 at KVI, with AGOR beam. In 2012, BINA has been moved to Krakow at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (IFJ), where currently we are working to make it operational again with newly bought cyclotron.
The BINA detector can be divided in two sections, namely Backward Ball and Forward Wall. The incoming beam of protons (or deuterons) hits the target located in the center of Ball, and the fragments ofter reactions are being detected in Wall (in forward angles θ=10°-35°) or in Ball (in backward angles θ upto 165°). The angular reconstruction is done with the help of MWPC and particle identification as well as energy are measured using E-ΔE technique. Figure 1 shows detailed description of BINA schematics an figure 2 shows a photo of BINA during its construction.
