Performance of a large Bragg-curve spectrometer

A large Bragg-curve spectrometer has been constructed and tested. The detector has a cylindrical geometry and operates with a homogeneous electric field. Energy resolutions of < 0.8% and Z resolutions of Z/ ΔZ = 80 have been achieved for elastically scattered 58Ni ions. These results demonstrate...

Summary:A large Bragg-curve spectrometer has been constructed and tested. The detector has a cylindrical geometry and operates with a homogeneous electric field. Energy resolutions of < 0.8% and Z resolutions of Z/ ΔZ = 80 have been achieved for elastically scattered 58Ni ions. These results demonstrate the suitability of this large solid-angle detector for use in a wide variety of heavy-ion scattering experiments.
