Abstract: The WASA 4π detector at the The Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala is now being commissioned. This detector will make possible new detailed studies of many interesting rare processes in intermediate energy light-ion physics. WASA is built around a new target system, providing well defined internal hydrogen (and deuterium) targets of high density. It has a detection coverage of close to 4π sr for high energy photons and charged particles and it includes a strong magnetic field provided by an extremely thin-walled superconducting solenoid. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
