Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer

About Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer

Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer (HIRA) is one of few recoil mass spectrometers (RMS) in the world and first of its kind in Asia. HIRA is dedicated to the study of heavy ion induced nuclear reaction dynamics and can operate in the direction of primary beam. Efficient rejection of primary beam and transportation of reaction products to the focal plane with mass identification are the forte of HIRA. It is based on symmetric [electrostatic dipole]-[magnetic dipole]-[electrostatic dipole] (ED-MD-ED) configuration (first used in Rochester RMS design), with two quadrupole doublets placed before and after the first and last electrostatic dipoles. Space focus (in both dispersive and non-dispersive planes) and energy achromaticity are obtained at the focal plane with variable mass dispersion. The ion-optical parameters of ED-MD-ED combination of HIRA are unique and quite different from other existing recoil mass spectrometers.

Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer

In case of heavy ion induced complete fusion reactions in normal kinematics, HIRA rejects primary beam particles and multi-nucleon transfer reaction products, transports the evaporation residue to the focal plane and disperses them as per mass (m/q to be precise) values.

HIRA is being used for a wide variety of nuclear physics experiments exploiting its ability to study weak reaction channels at forward angles

  • Heavy ion-induced fusion and transfer reactions around the Coulomb barrier
  • Fission hindrance through spin dependence of heavy evaporation residues
  • Residue-tagged γ-spectroscopy
  • Residue-tagged light charged particle and neutron emission
  • Microsecond isomer decay at the focal plane
  • Experiments with secondary beam (7Be) produced in HIRA

HIRA has also been used, in mass focus ion optical mode, for the production of ultra-pure, low energy 7Be beam

HIRA, operated in mass achromatic mode with important add-ons, has been shown to deliver light radioactive ion beam of excellent purity and moderate intensity using (p,n), (d,n) type of reactions in inverse kinematics and in-flight technique. Primary beams of stable, light nuclei from the 15 UD Pelletron accelerator are used on hydrogenous target and the radioactive secondary particles are separated in-flight and re-focused at a secondary target position using the existing recoil mass spectrometer, HIRA, operated in a new ion-optical mode. To satisfy the ion-optical requirement of a well defined beam spot-size, polyethylene foil targets mounted on a rotary/linear motion device are used. In the new optics, there is a momentum dispersed focal plane at the center of the magnetic dipole. A slit system with in-vacuum transfer option is installed at this focal plane, to selectively transmit secondary radioactive particles of specific energy window to the final focal plane. The large energy and momentum dispersion achieved till the centre of MD helps in high selectivity of the secondary particles. The second half of HIRA cancels the energy and momentum dispersion resulting in excellent secondary beam quality at the focal plane. The four quadrupoles help in achieving good focus of selected particles at MD centre and at the focal plane.

We have optimized the facility for production of 7Be beam using the p(7Li,7Be)n reaction, with the following features:

  • Beam energy: 16 - 22 MeV
  • Beam intensity: ~ 104 pps
  • Diameter of beam spot: 3 mm (FWHM) - depends on primary beam size
  • Purity of beam: > 99%
  • Energy spread: ± 0.5 MeV
  • Angular spread: ± 20 mrad

The focal plane chamber of HIRA acts as the scattering chamber for reactions with secondary beam. It houses "triple axis movement" collimator as well as the detector set-up. Since its commissioning, the facility has been used to carry out a number of low energy nuclear reactions using 7Be secondary beam.

Reduction of higher order aberrations

Reduction of higher order aberrations

A compact multipole, placed between ED1 and MD, with quadrupole, sextupole and octupole windings (in one plane) helps in reducing angle and energy dependent aberrations and in achieving energy achromatism at the focal plane. Suitable sextupole and octupole fields are super-imposed on the quadrupole field in Q4 by pole face shifts to reduce the mass-dependant 'focal plane tilt/curvature' aberration.

Slot in ED1 for better beam rejection

HIRA is the first RMS to allow provision to take the primary beam out without allowing it to scatter from the anode of the first electrostatic dipole. This is achieved by a horizontal slot (of 15 mm) cut out at the centre of the second half of the anode plate in ED1. This slot allows scattered beam particles to be collected on a beam catcher behind ED1 thereby reducing the background at the focal plane. The field non-uniformity is minimised by the use of special "rose-shim" profile around the periphery of the slot. Beam rejection factor achievable in HIRA is of the order of 1013 which depends on the reaction and to some extent on primary beam tuning. The beam catcher current signal (with ED1 voltages off) and the ratio of left and right monitor detectors along with the BPM signal (upstream of target) help in optimising and reproducing the primary beam trajectory.

Rotation of HIRA

The entire spectrometer is mounted on a platform which can rotate, about the vertical axis passing through the target and beam axis on a curved monorail (levelled to better than 0.1 mm), with the help of a motor. The angular scale is graduated with a least count of 0.1o (corresponding to ~ 1 cm arc at a distance ~ 5.7 metres). This option is particularly useful for measuring evaporation residue angular distribution and transfer products around the grazing angle.

Target chambers and accessories

HIRA is provided with a sliding seal chamber (300 mm inner diameter) which allows rotation of HIRA with respect to the beam direction by large angles (upto 25o) without disturbing chamber vacuum (~ 10-7 Torr). The sliding seal chamber is provided with option to mount a charge reset foil 10 cm downstream of target and monitor detectors at various angles. Two re-entrant cups allow mounting of HPGe detectors at close proximity (~ few cm away) of the target. Large re-entrant cups, replacing top and bottom lids, allow mounting of larger detectors such as BGO multiplicity filter and/or large scintillator detectors. A small aluminium chamber with conical entrance and exit coulplings is used in place of the sliding seal chamber during residue-tagged γ-spectroscopy and γ-multiplicity measurements.

Swivel stands for γ-detectors

Two swivel stands are installed on either side of the beam-line, around the target chamber, where upto eight HPGe detectors (four on either side) can be mounted. Large detector holders are also available for the swivel stands in which eight Clover detectors and four HPGe or neutron detectors can be mounted.

Focal plane detectors

A variety of detectors are available to be used at the focal plane of HIRA. The choice of detectors is guided by the type and energy of the particles and also the underlying physics interest. The most common detectors in use are:

  • 2D position sensitive, large area, Multi-wire proportional counter
  • Deep, split-anode, Ionization chamber and
  • 2D position sensitive, 50mm x 50mm, silicon detector.
