Development of a low pressure PPAC for detection of heavy charged particles

Description

In recent times, fission fragments mass distribution has been proved to be an important tool to study the dynamics of the fusion-fission reaction process. The best method to measure the masses of the fission fragments is to measure the time of flight (TOF) of the fission fragments produced in a nuclear reaction. This requires detectors with excellent time resolution. Usually, large area multi wire proportional counters are used to generate the STOP signal in a time of flight measurement (TOF) setup and beam pulsing time (for pulsed beam) is used for the START signal
