Abstract
A heavy-ion time-of-flight spectrometer has been brought into operation at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) MP Tandem-Van-de-Graaff facility. The start detector consists of a very thin plastic scintillation detector and the stop detector is a commercial surface-barrier detector. The design and operation of the spectrometry are discussed. An overall time resolution of ∼0.3 ns is found to be routinely attainable under realistic experimental conditions. Plans to include a magnetic quadropole lens in the flight path as well as the ultimate application of the spectrometer are discussed.
