Abstract

Within the last five years the kinematic separator VASSILISSA [A.V. Yeremin et al., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 274 (1989) 528; and A.V. Yeremin et al., Preprint JINR E15-90-347, Dubna 1990] has been used for investigations of neutron deficient evaporation residues (ER) produced in heavy ion fusion reactions. In the course of this work optimization of the ion-optical and other systems of the separator including improvements of the focal plane detector system have been made. As a result, the separation efficiency values ranging from 3 to 30% were achieved for ERs produced in the reactions with heavy ions ranging from 16O to 40Ar. The suppression factors >10 19 for the full energy beam particles and >10 4 for multinucleon transfer reaction products were achieved. The results of the performed experiments illuminating the separator performance are briefly presented.
