Preliminary study of 15c + 208Pb scattering at energies around the coulomb barrier

The discovery of halo nuclei in the mid-1980s electrified the community of nuclear physicists. These nuclei presented a rich variety of phenomena to study, and stretched our understanding of nuclear theory to the limits. Since then with theory and with newly developed accelerators as well as particle detectors physicist continue to understand interesting behavior of the halo nuclei. The topic on which this thesis is focused is the prelimnary study and Monte Carlo simulation of the experiment which took place in Cern's Isolde radioactive beam facilty called IS619: "Effects of the neutron halo in 15C scattering at energies around the Coulomb barrier". GLORIA dedector system has been choosen for this study which combines six DSSSD telescopes. In this thesis, one of the front telescopes analysed then also Monte Carlo simulation has been done using NPTool software which combines ROOT and GEANT4 softwares and makes it possible to make scattering simulations. Then we compared spectrum taken from the experiment and simulation. Currently the results of the analysis is not in good agreement with the simulation. Therefore studies of all other telescopes and simulation is continuing.
