Detection of fusion residues produced by inverse kinematic reactions using a gas-filled split-pole spectrograph

Abstract

A focal plane detector has been constructed for detecting fusion residues in a gas-filled Enge split-pole spectrograph . It provides position, timing and energy for particle identification. With a timing channel plate detector in the target chamber, the particle time-of-flight can be measured. This detector system is particularly suitable for studying fusion–evaporation reactions in inverse kinematics .
