Abstract
A small size spectrometer for detecting heavy reaction products emitte d at small angles has been developed. It is installed at the synchrotr on storage ring CELSIUS in Uppsala. It uses the focussing and bending magnetic elements of the storage ring itself in combination with a det ector telescope, made of high-purity germanium, inserted into the ring vacuum. The spectrometer has been used for studies of pion production reactions close to threshold. The spectrometer is described together with results of ray-trace calculations and experimental tests.
