Experiment 09069 in Progress

Experiment 09069 ( Measurement of Excitation Energy of Neon Prefragments) is under way at the NSCL. The experiment seeks to measure evaporation neutrons in coincidence with residue projectile fragments to determine the excitation energy of the intermediate fragments produced in the reactions.  A Mg-32 beam is being  used to create neon isotopes that are measured by the Sweeper Magnet and charged particle detectors while the associated distribution of evaporation neutrons is measured using the MoNA detector.  Michele Mosby is the spokesperson for the experiment.
