From Cape to Hortobágy: the marriage of DIAMANT with AFRODITE
Abstract
The DIAMANT light charged-particle detector will be coupled with the AFRODITE γ-ray spectrometer at iThemba LABS under a bilateral agreement between South Africa and Hungary. As a first step, the standalone 'Chessboard' section of DIAMANT has been integrated with AFRODITE in order to study incomplete fusion reactions instigated by beams of 13C ions incident on targets of 170Er and 176Yb. A fuller implementation of DIAMANT with AFRODITE will take place in due course.
