esign and Construction of Charged Particle Telescope Array for Study of Exotic Nuclear Clustering Structure

he exploration of exotic shapes and properties of atomic nuclei, e.g., α cluster and toroidal shape, is a<br />fascinating field in nuclear physics. To study the decay of these nuclei, a novel detector aimed at detecting<br />multiple alpha-particle events was designed and constructed. The detector comprises two layers of double-sided<br />silicon strip detectors (DSSD) and a cesium iodide scintillator array coupled with silicon photomultipliers array<br />as light sensors, which has the advantages of their small size, fast response, and large dynamic range. DSSDs<br />couple with cesium iodide crystal arrays are used to distinguish multiple alpha hits. The detector array has a<br />compact and integrated design that can be adapted to different experimental conditions. The detector array was<br />simulated using Geant4, and the excitation energy spectra of some alpha-clustering nuclei were reconstructed<br />to demonstrate the performance. The simulation results show that the detector array has excellent angular<br />and energy resolutions, enabling effective reconstruction of the nuclear excited state by multiple alpha particle<br />events. This detector offers a new and powerful tool for nuclear physics experiments and has the potential to<br />discover interesting physical phenomena related to exotic nuclear structures and their decay mechanisms
