Fig. 2 Schematic arrangement of the African LaBr3:Ce Array (ALBA) with 23 large-volume
detectors [1]
large-volume (89 × 203mm) LaBr3:Ce detectors. Coupling these detectors to the
K600, other particle detection devices and/or AFRODITE, will provide a unique
combination with each detector type capable of probing a different aspect of the
nuclear response. ALBA’s efficiencies (for 20 detectors) are calculated to be 18.9%,
7.8%, and 4.5% at γ-ray energies of 1, 5, and 10 MeV, respectively. This will
provide a significant increase in efficiencies for new and cutting edge research,
in particular for measurements of the PSF, PDR, and γ-ray decay of the GEDR,
which are not feasible with Clover detectors alone. Currently, six ALBA detectors
are already available for measurements. Another 17 detectors are funded through
GAMKA funds and are expected to be delivered in 2019 and the first half of 2020
A schematic arrangement of the ALBA array is shown in Fig. 2.
