Abstract
A 4 pi detection system sensitive to light charged particles is being devel oped at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) for the study of the reac tion mechanisms produced in heavy-ion collisions at energies up to 20 AMeV. The 8 pi LP apparatus is a telescope assembly characterized by large solid angle (90% of 4 pi) and high granularity (262 modules). Particle identific ation at low energy is enhanced by combining Delta E-E, TOF and PSD techniq ues. Thresholds for particle identification range from 1 MeV for protons an d 3 MeV for alpha particles to about 2-3 AMeV for C ions. The system is ful ly operational for experiments.
