Charged particle detectors in NAND: current status

The present status of the charged particle detector systems developed for investigating heavy ion induced fusion-fission reactions is discussed here. The main motive of developing these detector systems is to perform fission angular distribution, mass-angle, mass-kinetic energy distribution experiments, mass-gated neutron multiplicity measurements, elastic scattering, quasi-elastic excitation function experiments etc. These experiments provide a rich source of information to understand fusion and fusion fission dynamics. To perform these measurements, position sensitive proportional counters (MWPC), and hybrid telescopes have been developed at IUAC over last several years. Recently we upgraded our detector systems by making few modifications in design for MWPC and increasing the number of telescopes in HYTAR for performing experiments with LINAC beams in beam hall II of IUAC. The detector setup in beam hall II is described briefly
