Abstract:
To improve the ability of particle identification of the RIBLL2 separator at the HIRFL-CSR complex, a new high-performance detector for measuring fragment starting time and position at the F1 dispersive plane has been constructed and installed, and a method for achieving precise
Bρ determination has been developed using the experimentally derived ion-optical transfer matrix elements from the measured position and ToF information. Using the high-performance detectors and the precise
Bρ determination method, the fragments produced by the fragmentation of
78Kr at 300 MeV/nucleon were identified clearly at the RIBLL2-ETF under full momentum acceptance. The atomic number
Z resolution of
σZ~0.19 and the mass-to-charge ratio
A/
Q resolution of
σA/Q~5.8×10
−3 were obtained for the
75As
33+ fragment. This great improvement will increase the collection efficiency of exotic nuclei, extend the range of nuclei of interest from the
A<40 mass region up to the
A~80 mass region, and promote the development of radioactive nuclear beam experiments at the RIBLL2 separator.
