Response and efficiency of stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer to intermediate-energy deuterons

Performances of a stacked GSO(Ce) spectrometer were investigated in terms of the light output and the peak-to-tail efficiency for deuterons of intermediate energies. Experiments were conducted at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP) of Osaka University by using monoenergetic deuterons from pd and αd scatterings. The results are indispensable to determine energy-angle double differential cross-sections of deuteron production reactions induced by 400MeV protons.
