Abstract

A PC-based data acquisition system for the Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator is described. Some special electronic modules were designed for the mentioned system. The system was tested in heavy ion induced nuclear reactions at the main FLNR cyclotron U400. A brief description of the detecting module of the separator is presented. This system was successfully applied in experiments on discovery of the shell closure at N=162 and Z=108 within the framework of the Dubna-Livermore collaboration
