Abstract

A high-efficiency, forward-hemisphere detector system for light charged particles and low-Z   heavy ions, as obtained in an accelerator experiment, is described. It consists of four 8×8 pixel multianode photomultiplier tubes with 2.2-mm thick CsI(Tl) and 12-μm12-μm thick fast-plastic scintillation detectors. Its phoswich structure allows individual Z resolution for 1H, 4He, 7Li, 4He+4He, 9Be, 11B, 12C, and 14N ions, which are target-like fragments detected in strongly inverse kinematics. The device design has been optimized for use with a 4π   γ-ray array, and the main applications are transfer reactions and Coulomb excitation. A high-angular resolution for the detection of the target-like fragments is achieved which permits angular distributions to be measured in the rest frame of the projectile-like fragment with a resolution of ~2°~2°.
