dc.description.abstractUltrafast high power lasers may be used to generate short pulses of energetic ions that can be used for nuclear activation cross section measurements The Short Lived Isotope Counting System ( was developed to count the beta decays of radioactive product nuclei resulting from light ion reactions generated in this way One important SLICS parameter, which has been determined using a Geant 4 simulation, is the detection efficiency, the ratio of detected betas to number of product nuclei To test this prediction, an experiment was carried out using the SUNY Geneseo Pelletron A deuteron beam incident on a thin natural Li target created 840 ms half life 8 Li via the 7 Li( d,p 8 Li reaction The beta particles from the 8 Li decay were identified and counted by the SLICS detector, a dE E phoswich detector telescope Alpha particles from 8 Li(d,α) 4 He on the same natural lithium target were counted by a silicon surface barrier detector at various backward angles The efficiency of the SLICS detector was determined using the number of the α and β particles counted by the two detectors and the previously measured cross sections and Li isotopic abundances. This material is based upon work supported by the Department of Energy [National Nuclear Security Administration] University of Rochester “National Inertial Confinement Fusion Program” under Award Number(s) DE NA 0004144 and by SUNY Geneseo and Houghton University
