Abstract
Bremsstrahlung photons produced at the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE at FZ Rossendorf will be used for the production of neutron‐rich nuclei by photon‐induced fission. The properties of such exotic nuclei will be studied by decay spectroscopy. The mass and charge identification plays a key role in such experiments and is based on a double time‐of‐flight (TOF) method for both fission fragments. The reaction products are registered using secondary electrons emitted by thin foils and detected by position‐sensitive MCP detectors. Currently a position resolution of 1.8(0.3) mm (FWHM) in both x and y directions and a time resolution of about 330 ps (FWHM) have been deduced using a source of α‐particles.
