Abstract
The mass spectrum of hydrogen isotopes was deduced from the kinetic en ergy and time-of-flight (TOF) measured with the segmented electromagne tic calorimeter TAPS. The reactions studied were Kr+Ni at 60A MeV and Ar+Ca at 180A MeV. Proper corrections for the energy lost by charged p articles in passive absorbers between the target and the scintillator are essential to improve greatly the mass resolution. Extension of the capabilities of TAPS to identify light charged particles allows one t o study correlations between photons or neutral pions and charged part icles.
