Recent progress in subatomic particle detection technology

Particle detection technologies have been largely advanced in our laboratory over the past decade. A neutron sphere was built to detect the decay neutron emitted from the implanted unstable nucleus, whereas a multi-neutron correlation spectrometer was implemented to detect the forward moving neutrons resulting from breakup reactions. Charged particle telescopes are now equipped with double sided Silicon strip detectors which have excellent energy and position resolutions. Large size gas chambers, such as resistive plate chambers, have been developed in order to achieve high performances related to timing or position measurements. The advances of these technologies contribute substantially to such large science project, as LHC-CMS, and to the experiments with the radioactive nucleus beams.
