Abstract
General features of a detector setup for decay studies at on-line mass-sepa rators are discussed. The detection system was used for measurements of S-d ecay properties of exotic nuclei with A approximate to 70. Results of GEANT Monte-Carlo simulations of the detector setup generally confirm the measur ements. Both measurements and simulations show that even in case of low mul tiplicity events the Cc detector efficiency and peak to total ratio of gamm a-lines are reduced by large factor due to summing. Steps to improve the de tection system are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res erved.
