Experiments and reconstruction methods for NeuLAND, the New Large Area Neutron Detector — •Jan Mayer and Andreas Zilges for the R3B collaboration — Institute for Nuclear Physics, University of Cologne
NeuLAND, the New Large Area Neutron Detector, is a core component of the Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams (R3B) setup at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), Germany.
In this talk, we give an overview of the detector performance achieved in experiments performed at the upgraded GSI facility. Reconstruction of the multiplicity and the first interaction points from the complex hit patterns is challenging. We present challenges, possible solutions, and results obtained with a diverse set of approaches including classical statistical methods and Machine Learning.
Supported by the BMBF (05P19PKFNA) and the GSI (KZILGE1416).
