Abstract

The Fusion and Breakup of Light Elements (FABLE) array, comprised of ΔE-E telescopes of neutron-transmutation doped (NTD) Double-Sided Silicon Strip Detectors (DSSDs), has been developed and commissioned for future experiments at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). FABLE was designed to perform measurements of complete and incomplete fusion cross sections, to help address the interplay between breakup and clustering in outcomes of reactions with exotic nuclides. The FABLE array has been commissioned in a comprehensive study at the ReAccelerator facility ReA6 of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), investigating the dynamics in the weakly-bound proton rich ⁷Be reaction on ²⁰⁸Pb targets.
