COeCO: A new β-delayed conversion-electron spectroscopy setup for low-energy ISOL beams at the ALTO facility in Orsay

Abstract

A new β-decay station, COnversion electrons Chasing at Orsay (COeCO), has been developed at ALTO to perform conversion electron spectroscopy studies of neutron-rich nuclei produced by photo-fission of a uranium carbide target. It is based on the collection of a low-energy ISOL beam on a mylar tape, and the transportation of the electrons emitted by the produced radioactive source through a magnetic field induced by two copper coils, towards a cooled Si(Li) detector. In this article, a detailed description of the new decay station and its components is given. The magnetic field induced by the coils was measured and compared to simulations performed with the COMSOL® software. The efficiency of the detection setup was estimated using a 207Bi and a 152Eu source as an off-line commissioning. Finally, the results obtained with a 96Rb radioactive beam for the on-line commissioning are presented.
