Abstract

The COMBAS large solid angle and high momentum acceptance and high-resolving kinematic separator has been created at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, JINR, to efficiently collect extremely short-lived nuclei near the zero angle which are produced in intermediate energy fragmentation reactions with wide momentum and wide angular distributions. For the first time the M 1M 2M 3M 4F dM 5M 6M 7M 8F a magneto-optical configuration of the COMBAS separator has been realized on the strong focussing principle. The separation and trajectory analysis of particles by the separator are carried out by three parameters: the magnetic rigidity (B· ρ), the energy loss difference in the degrader (Δ E/Δ x) and the time-of-flight (Δ T) of the analyzed particles. The COMBAS separator can be used efficiently both in the mode of a high- resolving spectrometer to study reaction mechanisms and in the mode of an in-flight separator in experiments on the synthesis and study of properties of short-lived exotic nuclei near the drip-lines.
