Abstract
The LNL recoil mass spectrometer, in operation for some years on line with the LNL XTU Tandem accelerator has been used primarily for the st udy of reaction products emitted at 0 degrees to the beam direction. I n agreement with the design goal this instrument has a good mass resol ution, in the range of 1/300, even with large energy (+/-20%) and soli d angle ( > 7.5 msr) acceptances; the mass dynamic range is around +/- 6% of the central mass. The beam rejection factor at 0 degrees ranges from 10(+6) to 10(+11) according to various experimental parameters. A dvantages and limitations of the spectrometer are discussed.
