The Stony Brook Nuclear Structure Laboratory pages. To the right is a picture of the Tandem Van de Graaff portion of our accelerator. Want to find out how accelerators work? Check out this link. Or this one.
Gammasphere, a
110-element Ge detector array, currently located at Argonne
National Laboratory. Also check out Gammasphere's old home page at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The Microball, a
nearly 4-pi array of CsI(Tl) scintillators, used to detect protons and
alpha
particles. In this picture the Microball is in the target chamber at
the center
of Gammasphere. The Microball was
built by Demetrios
Sarantites at Washington University.
Dennis LaFosse wrote (but never
finished or published, dammit) a paper about The
Care and Feeding of Microball Data. It discusses the recoil
correction, and a
phenomenon known as the Microball bias.
The Fragment Mass
Analyzer , located
downstream of Gammasphere. 
Euroball (or Eurogam,
or
Eurocluster or who knows...I can never remember), the other member
of the "3rd generation detector array club."
