Facility
FAIRProject description
The CALIFA photon and particle calorimeter is a part of the experimental set up for Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams (R3B) at the FAIR facility. It is one of the key detectors and will detect gamma rays and light charged particles. Chalmers is contributing R&D on the forward end-cap of the CALIFA – including the hybrid LaBr3-LaCl3 phoswich detector and the associated slow control and readout electronics. The work included the technical design, prototyping, pre-series, procurement and delivery of the system.
