Description

In intermediate energy heavy ion collisions the multiplicity of emitted neutrons is strongly connected to energy dissipation and to impact parameter. We present the 4π detector ORION, a high efficiency liquid scintillator detector which permits to get information on the multiplicity of neutrons measured event-wise and on the spatial distribution of these neutrons

Abstract (French)

Dans les collisions d'ions lourds a energie intermediaire, la multiplicite des neutrons emis est directement reliee a l'energie dissipee et au parametre d'impact. Nous presentons ORION, un detecteur 4π a scintillation liquide qui permet d'obtenir des informations sur la multiplicite des neutrons, evenement par evenement et d'en etablir la distribution spatiale
