Abstract
In order to perform half-life measurements at Alto, we developed a fast-timing setup using fast scintillators: LaBr3. The main components of our setup and their characteristics (timing properties) are presented. The resulting time resolution, obtained after optimization, and measured off-line with radioactive sources is discussed. This set-up was tested on-line by measuring using the slope method half-lives of 137-139Cs levels fed by the β- decay of 137-139Xe. The neutron-rich Xe nuclei were produced by 238U photofission using, at low intensity, the electron beam and the line of the future facility ALTO. Our results show the ability of such a fast-timing system to measure half-lives lower than the total time resolution. Off-line and on-line results are discussed.
