A new experimental device, the Silicon Cube detector, consisting of 6 doublesided silicon strip detectors placed in a compact geometry was developed at CENBG. Having a very good angular coverage and high granularity, it allows simultaneousmeasurements of energy and angular distributions of charged particles emitted from unbound nuclear states. In addition, large-volume germanium detectors can be placed close to the collection point of the radioactive species to be studied. The setup is ideally suited for ISOL-type experiments to study multi-particle emitters and was tested during an experiment at the low-energy beam line of SPIRAL at GANIL.
