Philip J. Voss (Simon Fraser University)17/06/2014, 13:45Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)Invited Speaker / Conférencier invitéPhilip J. Voss* on behalf of the TIGRESS Collaboration *Department of Chemistry, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, Canada V5A 1S6 Radioactive isotopes far from the valley of beta stability exhibit a variety of interesting properties. Quantifying the evolution of nuclear structure with increasing proton-neutron asymmetry is a major focus of current experimental efforts. High precision...Go to contribution page

Mr Aaron Chester (Simon Fraser University Department of Chemistry)17/06/2014, 14:15Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)Electromagnetic transition rate measurements serve as a fundamental probe of nuclear structure and provide a stringent test for theoretical models. Doppler shift lifetime measurements offer an opportunity to directly access information about electromagnetic transition rates and discriminate between model calculations. To take advantage of this opportunity, the TIGRESS Integrated Plunger device...Go to contribution page

Dr Mohamad Moukaddam (TRIUMF)17/06/2014, 14:30Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)A new ancillary detector, SPICE (SPectrometer for Internal Conversion Electrons) has been constructed and tested for the first time at the ISAC-II facility of TRIUMF. SPICE is designed to be coupled with the TIGRESS HPGe array to enable simultaneous in-beam gamma-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy in both stable and radioactive ion beam experiments. The TIGRESS+SPICE setup will combine...Go to contribution page

Krzysztof Starosta (Simon Fraser University)17/06/2014, 14:45Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)The 8π spectrometer was funded in 1984 by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and comprised of 20 High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors, their BGO Compton suppressors with phototubes, and a 72 element inner BGO ball. After its use at the TASCC facility in Chalk River, it was moved to the Lawerence Berkeley Laboratory and...Go to contribution page

Mr Patrick St-Onge (Université Laval)17/06/2014, 15:00Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)The multidetector HERACLES studies heavy-ion collisions at TRIUMF, with ion beams with an energy range between 8 to 15 MeV per nucleon [1,2]. Seventy-eight detectors are axially distributed around the beam axis in 6 rings allowing detection of multiple charged fragments from nuclear reactions. Experimental data was collected by HERACLES from a 20Ne and 22Ne beam at 11.7 MeV per nucleon on a...Go to contribution page
