Optimization and re-operation of the fission fragment spectrometer VERDI

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The VElocity foR Direct particle Identification (VERDI) spectrometer is a Fission Fragment detection instrument based on the double-energy double-velocity (2E-2v) method. The aim is to determine fission fragment yield distributions with a mass resolution of at least A / Δ A = 100. VERDI features two time-of-flight (TOF) sections, each equipped with a micro-channel plate (MCP) detector for the start time-of-flight determination and up to 31 passivated implanted planar silicon (PIPS) detectors for fragment time-of-flight (TOF) and energy measurement. We report on improvements in the data acquisition and the technical performance of our time pickup and energy detection.
