Abstract :
An apparatus for detecting light and heavy fragments, in coincidence with γ-rays is described. Its use is foreseen for studying heavy ion complete and incomplete fusion reactions at low and intermediate energy.
-E and TOF techniques are used for charged particle identification at small angles using a combination of Si strip detectors and CsI(Tl) crystals. The γ-ray detection is performed by using a coverage of 9 clusters, each consisting of 7 BaF2 crystals, similar to the TAPS configuration, resulting in a large solid angle and a high granularity. We report on recent results about the charged particle discrimination and the time and energy resolution for the whole detector. Initial tests were performed using 12C, 19F and 28Si beams accelerated by the 15 MV tandem of the Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud in Catania.
