| A CsI(Na) hodoscope detector located downstream of the [[Detectors#Plastic scintillators|E1 scintillator]] is used to measure the total kinetic energy of implanted nuclei, allowing the identification of different charge states. An additional use recently tested is the measurement of isomer gamma-rays emitted from implanted nuclei. | A CsI(Na) hodoscope detector located downstream of the [[Detectors#Plastic scintillators|E1 scintillator]] is used to measure the total kinetic energy of implanted nuclei, allowing the identification of different charge states.

| The hodoscope is composed 32 sodium-doped cesium iodide CsI(Na) scintillating crystals manufactured by [[http://www.scintitech.com/|ScintiTech]]. Each crystal is 5.1 cm-thick, has an active area of 7.6 cm x 7.6 cm, and is attached to a photomultiplier ([[https://www.hamamatsu.com/us/en/product/optical-sensors/pmt/pmt_tube-alone/head-on-type/R1307.htmlHamamatsu R1307]]). The photo-cathodes are made of a bi-alkali material with a transmission peak at 420 nm. The 32 crystals are arranged in eight rows of 4 crystals each so as to cover approximately the same solid angle as the [[Detectors#Cathode Readout Drift Chambers (CRDC)|CRDCs]]. The frontal and lateral sides of each crystal are covered with two 150-µm thick layers of a white Teflon reflective material to provide light shielding between the crystals. The photocathodes are connected to a [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/nscl_library/manuals/caen/MOD.N568B.pdf|CAEN N568B]] 16-channel shaper/amplifier, followed by a [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/nscl_library/manuals/phillips/7164H.pdf|Phillips 7164H]] 12-bit ADC. The signals from the crystals are gain-matched to a middle position in the ADC spectra by varying the biases of each photocathode. | The hodoscope is composed 32 sodium-doped cesium iodide CsI(Na) scintillating crystals manufactured by [[http://www.scintitech.com/|ScintiTech]].
