In-beam experiment with Hyperball2In-beam experiment with Hyperball2
• Advantages– Large total photo peak efficiency (g-g-g coincidence)– Transistor reset type (high counting rate→ high
intensity beam)– BGO as a multiplicity filter (12x6+6x14=156 elements)– Clover detector as Compton polarimeter
• Disadvantages– Few angles (detectors placed mostly around 90º) →
lower angular correlation sensitivity
