CATRiNA

CATRiNA at Gamma Station beamline

Introduction

The Compound Array for Transfer Reactions in Nuclear Astrophysics (CATRiNA) is neutron detector array located at Florida State University. CATRiNA is composed of 32 deuterated-benzene ($C_{6}D_{6}$) liquid scintillators. The array consists of 16 "small" detectors that encapsulate the $C_{6}D_{6}$ within a 2" x 2" aluminum cell and 16 "large" detectors that encapsulate the $C_{6}D_{6}$ within a 4" x 2" aluminum cell. Due to the special characteristic of the light-output of the deuterated material with the neutrons, the light-output can be converted to the neutron energy without time-of-flight information .
