The HRIBF Tandem accelerator is the highest operating voltage electrostatic accelerator in the world. There are a number of isotopes of interest for AMS where the high energies achieved for ions could represent a very important advantage for their detection.

The first experiment was done using the Recoil Mass Spectrometer at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility where y-ray transitions were detected with 6 Clover and 5 Duet Ge detectors. A follow-up experiment using the GAMMASPHERE-FMA combination at Argonne National Laboratory was performed. Ninety-six Ge and 4 LEPs detectors were used to record recoil-yy coincidences. Both experiments employed standard recoil mass separation techniques which resulted in the implantation of A=113 reaction products into a double-sided silicon-strip detector. By gating on the energy of the emitted proton and decay time, the correlation between y rays and the implanted lI3Cs could be observed. Initial analysis and comparison with energy level systematics of the Cs isotopes reveal a decay sequence based on the h y...

The capability of reconstructing the position of the interaction with resolution at the level of a few millimeters is a fundamental requirement for reliable tracking and is important to understand and quantify the limiting factors of position resolution. Improvements in signal decomposition can be realized by better modeling the crystals. Specifically, we need a better understanding of drift velocity anisotropy, which causes considerable differences in pulse shape rise time depending on the position of the spatial charge carrier creation. In this presentation we will discuss the sensitivity of the predicted pulse shapes when varying hole mobility parameters and ...

The first employs large silicon detector arrays to measure protons emitted from the (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics [2 6]. The second uses HYBALL to detect the charged particles emitted from ( 9 Be, 8 Be), and ( 13 C, 12 C) reactions with gamma rays measured in coincidence in CLARION [6 7].

The IDT method provides very clean reaction channel selection of prompt in-beam decays by correlating these events with delayed events detected at the focal plane of a recoil separator.
