An R&D program on gaseous active-target time-projection chambers (TPCs) with strip readout for studying nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest is carried out by the University of Warsaw in collaboration with University of Connecticut and ELI-NP/IFIN-HH since 2013. The long-term goal of this project is to measure cross-sections of time-reverse processes using TPC detection technique by...
An active-target Time Projection Chamber with electronic readout has been developed at the University of Warsaw. The ability to accurately reconstruct events is critical for the success of the experiments using this detector. For this purpose a novel set of data analysis tools is being built. Several methods and algorithms have been considered and investigated.
In my talk, I will present the...
An active-target Time Projection Chamber (TPC) has been developed at the University of Warsaw to investigate the photo-disintegration reactions relevant for nuclear astrophysics and for studies of nuclear structure phenomena, e.g. alpha-clustering effects in light nuclei.
Recently, the performance of the detector was tested in experiments conducted at the Van de Graaf accelerator at the IFJ...
The Optical Time Projection Chamber detector (OTPC) constructed at the University of Warsaw has been successfully used in recent years to study rare radioactive decays, like two proton radioactivity or beta-delayed multi-particle emission. One of the main advantages of the OTPC detector is a full 3D reconstruction of events - one can not only determine energies of individual particles, but...
