A Recoil Mass Spectrometer (RMS) is to be built that will carry out a broad research program in heavy-ion physics. The RMS will make possible the study of otherwise inaccessible exotic nuclei. Careful attention has been given to match the RMS to all the beams available from the HHIRF accelerators, including those beams with the highest energy as well as massive particles for use in inverse reactions. With the use of inverse reactions, the production of secondary radioactive beams is possible. This is due to the design of the spectrometer. The RMS is to be a momentum achromat followed by a split electric dipole mass spectrometer of the type operating at NSRL at the University of Rochester. The RMS is essential for many of the proposed experiments on short lived and/or low cross section products. 18 refs.
