Our Nuclear Physics lab in UoI
is equipped with 2 HPGe detectors, more than 10 Si charged particle detectors
a BF3 neutron detector as well as several scintillators (NaI, plastic, etc). We also
maintain 3 independent Data Acquisition Systems along with the necessary NIM pulse shaping
modules. With this equipment, we can perform measurments in-sitou or prepare for remote
experimental campagins. Additionally, an ultra high (oil free) vacuum chamber has been installed, allowing for the testing of state-of-the-art multi-strip detection systems.
Lastly, an electronics lab is available for the development and optimisation of our
detection systems.
The Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics
(INPP), at NCSR Demokritos, has as its mission
the experimental and theoretical research, scientific
excellence and innovation in High-Energy Physics,
Nuclear Physics and
Astro-Particle Physics
The INPP hosts a 5.5. MV Tandem accelerator,
a unique research infrastructure in Greece
open to external users
from Greece and abroad.
The n_TOF facility at CERN is designed
to study neutron induced reactions, bearing
importance
for research fields ranging from stellar nucleosynthesis
to applications of nuclear
technology.
Its neutron beam is very wide,
stretching from the meV to the GeV region.
The kinetic energy of the
neutrons is precisely
determined via time-of-flight technique, to which
n_TOF owes its name.
