Abstract
A recoil detector has been built for internal target experiments with the Amsterdam Pulse Stretcher and storage ring, AmPS, of NIKHEF. The detector was designed to detect low-energy (1–20 MeV/nucleon) and low-mass (A≤4) recoiling nuclei emerging from electron-induced reactions. The detector consists of a low-pressure, two-step avalanche chamber, two layers of silicon strip detectors of 100 and 475 μm thickness and a scintillator. The signals from the separate detector elements are processed by custom-made analog electronics and dedicated VME-based digitizer modules. The detector was operated successfully at the AmPS electron scattering facility with a gaseous He target of 1015 atoms/cm2 internal to the storage ring and beam currents up to 200 mA of 660 MeV electrons. Unambiguous particle separation was achieved.
