Abstract
A fission-fragment detection system was designed and built at The George Wa shington University, to be used in photofission experiments at the Saskatch ewan Accelerator Laboratory and the Jefferson Laboratory. The fission fragm ents were detected using parallel-plate avalanche detectors with anode wire grids. An array of several target-detector pairs was mounted inside a low- pressure reaction chamber. The results of calibrations of the detectors usi ng a Cf-252 source and their performance with a bremsstrahlung photon beam during the experiments are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
