This grant funds the development and construction of a silicon strip detector array for experiments with fast radioactive nuclear beams. Such beams will soon be available, albeit with low intensities, at radioactive beam facilities and will allow important investigations in the areas of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics. To be useful at these facilities, detection arrays must cover most if not all of the interesting solid angle. This array does so with high resolution, and low cost by utilizing advanced high density readout electronics. Once constructed, the array will be a powerful research instrument for determining the structure of extremely neutron-rich or neutron-deficient nuclei. It will also enable the measurement of many nuclear properties that are relevant to the nucleosynthesis of the elements within stars, novae and supernovae. This array will provide significant new capabilities for performing radioactive beam experiments; the development of such capabilities was identified as the highest priority new initiative in the 1995 Long Range Plan for Nuclear Physics.

这项赠款资助了用于快速放射性核束实验的硅条检测器阵列的开发和构建。 这样的梁即将在放射性束设施中很快提供，尽管强度低，并且将允许在核结构和核天体物理学领域进行重要的研究。为了在这些设施中有用，检测阵列必须覆盖大多数有趣的实体角度。该阵列通过高分辨率来实现，并且通过利用高级高密度读数电子设备来做到这一点。构造后，阵列将是确定极其中子或中子缺陷核的结构的强大研究工具。它还将实现与恒星，Novae和Supernovae中元素的核合成相关的许多核性质的测量。 该阵列将为执行放射性束实验提供重要的新功能。这种能力的发展被确定为1995年核物理远程计划中的最高优先级新计划。
