Abstract

A focal plane detector has been constructed for detecting fusion residues in a gas-filled Enge split-pole spectrograph. It provides position, timing and energy for particle identification. With a timing channel plate detector in the target chamber, the particle time-of-flight can be measured. This detector system is particularly suitable for studying fusion-evaporation reactions in inverse kinematics.
