Previous: The MUST array
The DeMON array is jointly owned by laboratories in France and Belgium and, in
collaboration, we have performed several major experiments using it to detect
fast neutrons from reactions induced by radioactive beams at GANIL. The array consists
of approximately 100 liquid scintillation counters that can be mounted several
metres from the target in various different geometries. It is feasible to
imagine that the TIARA array could be deployed together with DeMON. This
presents no serious problems because the present acquisition system for DeMON
(and also its planned upgrade) are compatible with the new standard GANIL data
acquisition system. TIARA is being designed to operate using
both the Exogam and the GANIL data
acquisition systems and hence is fully compatible.
