Abstract
The FASA setup, installed at the JINR synchrophasotron providing light ion beams with energies up to 3.65 GeV/nucleon, is a fragment multipl icity detector, consisting of 55 scintillation counters made of thin C sI(TL) films, five time-of-flight telescopes and a large-area position -sensitive parallel-plate avalanche chamber. The basic aim of the devi ce is to determine with high precision the energy, mass, and velocity of the fragments detected in the time-of-flight telescopes (TOF) while for the other fragments global multiplicity information is obtained. Therefore, the TOF telescopes serve as a trigger. In addition, angular correlations and distributions and relative velocity correlations for coincident fragments can be measured with the FASA setup.
