The KENTROS detector for identification and kinetic energy measurements of nuclear fragments at polar angles between 5 and 90 degrees

KENTROS (Kinetic ENergy and Time Resolution Optimized on Scintillator) is a relatively compact detector has been projected and constructed in the framework of the INFN FRAG and TPS experiments. KENTROS has been designed for energy deposition and time of flight measurements of charged particles. The detector ensures an angular coverage from about 5 degrees up to about 90 degrees polar angle in the laboratory frame. Recently KENTROS has been used as part of the FIRST experiment, devoted to measure double differential fragmentation cross sections, with the aim to detect light fragments produced in the nuclear fragmentation process.
