HPGe-BGO Pair Spectrometer for ELI-NP — •Ilja Homm for the ELI-NP Pair Spectrometer collaboration — Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany

The new European research facility called ELI-NP (The Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics) is being built in Bucharest-Magurele, Romania. ELI-NP will offer unprecedented opportunities for photonuclear reactions with high intensity, brilliant and fully polarized photon beams at energies up to 19.5 MeV.

The 8 HPGe CLOVER detectors of ELIADE are important instruments for the γ-spectroscopic study of photonuclear reactions. We investigate the possibility to operate an advanced version of an anti-Compton shield (AC shield) as escape γ-rays pair spectrometer for one of the ELIADE CLOVERS. This should improve the performance at high energies where the pair production process dominates. The BGO shield operated as a stand-alone device can also be used as γ-beam intensity monitor and to investigate the cross section for pair production near the threshold. A prototype pair spectrometer, consisting of 64 BGO crystals with SiPM (silicon photomultiplier) readout, has been designed and built. Two test measurements with high energy photons have been performed at the University of Cologne and at the ILL in Grenoble. Results are going to be presented.
This work is supported by the German BMBF (05P15RDENA, 05P21RDFN2) and the LOEWE-Forschungsschwerpunkt “Nukleare Photonik”.
