The large acceptance multi-purpose spectrometer(LAMPS) is one of the experimental devices for nuclear physics at RAON. It focuses on the nuclear symmetry energy at supra-saturation densities. The LAMPS Collaboration has developed and constructed various detector elements, including a time projection chamber(TPC) and a forward neutron detector array. From the positron beam test, the drift velocity of the secondary electrons in the TPC is 5:3±0:2 cm/ls with P10 gas mixture, and the position resolution for pads with dimensions of 4×15 mm^2 is in the range of$ 0.6–0.8 mm, depending on the beam position. From the neutron beam test, the energy resolution of the prototype neutron detector module is determined to be 3.4%, and theposition resolution is estimated to be better than 5.28 cm.At present, the construction of the LAMPS neutron detector system is in progress.展开更多

This system can inspect Nb surthce quickly using high resolution probe. The ECT system for RAON＇s cavity was made with these features： it has a 3-axis acting probe movenlent system, it can inspect a big size of Nb sheet, which is 1,200 mm × 365 mm and it contains the analysis program that can show the result as a 2D and 3D images as well as the relative figure of the surface level. The standard sample was made with various sizes of defects using the same Nb sheet that was used to make RISP （Rare Isotope Science Project） cavity. The ECT system conditioning was carried out to optimize the ECT operation on the frequency of which the range is from 300 KHZ to 2 MHz. The result of 900 KHZ showed the strongest signal. The conditioning experiment on other parameter will be carried out in the near future.展开更多
