Abstract: An array of 128 CsI(Tl) charged particle detectors providing nearly 4 π coverage has been developed at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and commissioned at TRIUMF, Canada's particle accelerator center. The new CsI ball array replaces a previous 24-detector array and offers improved charged particle detection efficiency and discrimination between reaction channels due to its increased angular coverage. A technical overview of the CsI ball array, as well as commissioning data including measurements of the charged particle detection efficiency, is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
