Coupling of the recoil mass spectrometer CAMEL to the γ-ray spectrometer GASP

A project has been realized to link the CAMEL recoil mass spectrometer to the GASP γ-spectrometer in order to perform high resolution and efficiency γ-recoil coincidence measurements. To preserve high flexibility and autonomy in the operation of the two complex apparatus a rough factor two of reduction in the overall heavy ion transmission was accepted in designing the optics of the particle transport from the GASP center to the CAMEL focal plane. The coupled configuration has been tested with the fusion reaction 58 Ni (E = 212 MeV ) + 64 Ni , obtaining a mass resolution of 1 300 and efficiency between ∼ 11% and ∼ 15% for different evaporation products.
