Response and efficiency of stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer to intermediate-energy deuterons

Abstract Performances of a stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer were investigated in terms of the light output and the peak-to-tail efficiency for deuterons of intermediate energies. Experiments were conducted at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) of Osaka University by using monoenergetic deuterons from pd and α d scatterings. The results are indispensable to determine energy-angle double differential cross-sections of deuteron production reactions induced by 400 MeV protons.
