Status and performances of the FAZIA project

TL;DR

The FAZIA project advances nuclear collision studies by achieving detailed isotopic identification of charged products using silicon detectors and scintillators, with digital pulse shape analysis enabling elemental and isotopic identification up to high atomic numbers.

Contribution

It demonstrates the capability of FAZIA telescopes for isotopic identification up to Z~25 and elemental identification up to Z=55, with a new digital pulse shape analysis technique.

Findings

Isotopic identification up to Z~25 with ΔE-E technique.

Elemental identification up to Z=55 using digital pulse shape analysis.

Development of a demonstrator with about 200 telescopes.

Abstract

FAZIA is designed for detailed studies of the isospin degree of freedom, extending to the limits the isotopic identification of charged products from nuclear collisions when using silicon detectors and CsI(Tl) scintillators. We show that the FAZIA telescopes give isotopic identification up to Z$\sim$25 with a $\Delta$E-E technique. Digital Pulse Shape Analysis makes possible elemental identification up to Z=55 and isotopic identification for Z=1-10 when using the response of a single silicon detector. The project is now in the phase of building a demonstrator comprising about 200 telescopes.
