Goals of E299 experiment:
-
Search for the formation of bound p-n pairs (deuterons) formed in the nuclear
medium during heavy-ion collisions. The threshold momentum, or Mott momentum,
for the formation of deuterons will be measured. Photons are used to time the
early formation of deuterons via radiative capture of a neutron(proton) by a
proton(neutron).
-
Hard photons with energies above 30 MeV are measured in coincidence with
deuterons. Correlated deuteron-gamma pairs will be discriminated against
uncoreelated pairs by exploiting the typical pattern resulting from the
existence of the Mott momentum.
Experimental set-up:
-
TAPS
("Two-Arm Photon Spectrometer"). BaF2 electromagnetic segmented
calorimeter for photon detection covering 20% of 4
 .
-
Block G
An additional TAPS block equipped with a fast plastic scintillator
and positionned at zero degree with respect to the beam direction.
