Abstract
The characteristics of a heavy-ion detection system are considered. The detection of the heavy ions is achieved by collecting the ions (which must be radioactive) in stacked foils and then measuring the radioactivity of the foils. Although the system is limited to detecting radioactive isotopes, ten interesting reactions can be investigated: four neutron stripping reactions, (C 12, C 11), (N 14, N 13), (O 16, O 15) and (F 19, F 18); four proton pickup reactions, (B 10, C 11), (C 12, N 13), (N 14, O 15) and (O 16, F 17); and two nucleon interchange reactions, (B 11, C 11) and (N 14, O 14). The energy resolution of the system varies from 0.7 to 0.4 MeV (full-width-at-half-maximum). The outstanding feature of the system is its high discrimination against the detection of stable isotopes. A system which has been constructed is described.
