Description
Active Target Time Projection Chambers (AT-TPCs) are advanced particle detectors that allow precise measurements of astrophysically important nuclear reactions. A new Active Target TPC for Multiple nuclear physics eXperiments (AToM-X) is being developed at the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS). It consists of a highly segmented Time Projection Chamber (TPC) using a Micromegas, a field cage, and silicon and CsI detector arrays. It enables high resolution measurements of the 3-dimensional particle tracks, energy, and position with the high detection efficiency. By utilizing sing the AToM-X, proton upscattering on the Hoyle state in 12C, 34Ar(a,p)37K, 10Be(p,a)7Li, and 17F(a,p)20Ne will be measured at JAEA and CRIB in RIKEN. Details of the current development status and the future plans will be presented.
