SSNAP: The Solenoid Spectrometer for Nuclear AstroPhysics

Helical spectrometers, such as the HELIOS device at Argonne National Laboratory, have proven to be a powerful tool for the study of nuclear spectroscopy (Lighthall, 2010). However, due to the expense in procuring a large bohr solenoid, relatively few of these devices exist. However, at the Universit...

Summary:Helical spectrometers, such as the HELIOS device at Argonne National Laboratory, have proven to be a powerful tool for the study of nuclear spectroscopy (Lighthall, 2010). However, due to the expense in procuring a large bohr solenoid, relatively few of these devices exist. However, at the University of Notre Dame, TwinSol, is composed of two such magnets. The availability of intense light-ion beams from the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Laboratory (NSL) in combination with a large-bore superconducting solenoids provides an excellent opportunity to develop a new solenoid spectrometer at the University of Notre Dame, one optimized for measurements in normal kinematics.
