Abstract
Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi provides facilities for nuclear physics experiments, focused at energies around Coulomb barrier, using the Pelletron-LINAC accelerator system. The heavy ion-induced fusion and fusion–fission reactions are characterized by performing measurements such as fission mass and angular distributions, fusion cross section and barrier distributions, multi-nucleon transfer, neutron and charged particle multiplicity, Coulex etc. To execute these experiments, detector systems (Jhingan in Pramana J. Phys. 85:483, 2015 [1]) based on position sensitive and fast timing proportional counters, particle identification telescopes based on gas ionization chambers and gas-silicon detectors, and scintillators for light-charged particle and neutron detection have been developed. The detectors are routinely used in experiments involving facilities of mass spectrometers (Madhavan et al. in Pramana J. Phys. 75:317, 2010 [2]), scattering chamber and neutron array (Sugathan et al. in Pramana J. Phys. 83:807, 2014 [3]) at IUAC. New detector systems are being planned and developed for these facilities as well as for the future facilities such as NUSTAR and SPIRAL2. This article presents an overview of developments in detector instrumentation at IUAC.
