SEC experiment

[1] SEC does not detect gamma radiation, and therefore is complementary to the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS) and Miniball experiments.

[2] The SEC experiment uses radioactive ion beams from ISOLDE, at the end of XT03 beamline of the HIE-ISOLDE facility.

The reaction target is surrounded by double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSSD) which are positioned so that the angular coverage is optimised, depending on the experiment.

[6] The main support for the detector is a circular movable table which has radially arranged holes at the centre.

[7][8] GLORIA was designed to have a compact geometry with the ability to resolve mass and ion charge up to carbon isotopes, due to the two-stage DSSD telescopes.
