A novel Calorimeter Telescope for identification of relativistic heavy-ion reaction channels

A novel Calorimeter Telescope (CATE) is employed in the fast beam Rare Isotope Investigations at GSI (RISING) γγ-campaign with relativistic energies at the Fragment Separator (FRS) at GSI. CATE consists of nine modular Si–CsI(Tl)Si–CsI(Tl) detector telescopes for position and ΔE-EresΔE-Eres measurements. It registers the scattering angle and identifies the charge (Z) and the mass (A) of exotic heavy ions produced after secondary fragmentation or Coulomb excitation.
