Technical detail

ANASEN uses a 43-cm long position-sensitive proportional counter surrounding the beam axis to enable an active-target mode. Silicon-strip detectors surround the proportional counter in a barrel configuration with 3 rings of 12 rectangular Super X3 and annular QQQ3 detectors at forward angles form the cap of the barrel. All detectors in the array are backed by trapezoidal-shaped 2-cm thick CsI(TI) crystals.

Michigan State University (MSU) operates the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE SC), with financial support from and furthering the mission of the DOE‑SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB is registered to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, and ISO 45001.
