Abstract :
A PC-based data acquisition system for heavy element research is described. Some special electronic modules were designed for the mentioned system. The system was tested for heavy-ion reactions at the main FLNR cyclotron U400. The detection module design is also described. This system was successfully applied in experiments to discover the shell closure at N=162 and Z=108 as well as for the discovery of new elements (two isotopes). A specific point of real-time detection of short recoil-alpha energy-time-position correlations is also presented
