OSTI ID:5474134
An air-core superconducting solenoid, with a diameter of 0.2 m and a length of 0.4 m, has been configured for use as a heavy-ion reaction-product spectrometer (E/Aless than or equal to5 MeV/u) near theta = 0/sup 0/ (10 to 35 msr). The performance of the spectrometer was established using ..cap alpha..-particle sources and nuclear-reaction products from (/sup 18/O, /sup 18/Ne), (/sup 18/O, /sup 20/Ne) and (/sup 18/O, /sup 14/O) and masses determined for /sup 30/Mg, /sup 108/Ru and /sup 109/Rh. A system suitable for production of radioactive beams has been constructed, and in-beam tests are in progress at the University of Notre Dame. Large air-core solenoids with d..cap omega..less than or equal to20 msr and capable of focusing ions with E/Agreater than or equal to30 MeV/u appear feasible.
