APPARATUS FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF HEAVY ION INDUCED REACTIONS
An integrated system for studying nuclear reaction mechanisms is described, including detection and identification of particles, and analysis and storage of data. Reaction products ranging from protons to fission fragments are identified and their energies are measured. Observations are made with 1 deg angular resolution at any angle from 8 1/2 to 171 1/2 deg . Without loss of vacuum the detectors may be moved or calibrated and the target may be changed. By a combination of photographic recording and multichannel analysis, products with cross sections ranging down to fractions of a millibarn can be measured in the presence of products having large cross sections. Examples are shown of spectra of protons, alpha particles, fission fragments and fragments ranging from lithium to magnesium produced by heavy ion bombardment. (auth)
