摘要
Recent theoretical and experimental results have brought renewed interest and focus on the topic of fission fragment angular momentum. Measurements of neutrons and $\gamma$ rays in coincidence with fission fragments remain the most valuable tool in the exploration of fission physics. To achieve these scientific goals, we have developed a system that combines a state-of-the-art fission fragment detector and $n$-$\gamma$ radiation detectors. A new twin Frisch-gridded ionization chamber has been designed and constructed for use with a spontaneous fission source and an array of forty \textit{trans}-stilbene organic scintillators (FS-3) at Argonne National Laboratory. The new ionization chamber design we present in this work aims at minimizing particle attenuation in the chamber walls, and provides a compact apparatus that can be fit inside existing experimental systems. The ionization chamber is capable of measuring fission fragment masses and kinetic energies, whereas the FS-3 provides neutron and gamma-ray multiplicities and spectra. The details of both detector assembly are presented along with the first experimental results of this setup. Planned event-by-event analysis and future experiments are briefly discussed.
