Abstract
A new HIGISOL chamber devoted to the study of short-lived products from hea vy-ion-induced fusion-evaporation reactions is proposed. It enables, via th e extraction of ions by means of a SPIG (SextuPole rf Ion Guide), to improv e the mass resolving power by a factor 2.5 compared to the previous system using a skimmer-ring assembly. The gas cell was also equiped with an electr ic field for faster transportation of recoiling ions to the nozzle where th ey are ejected with the gas jet. The first results obtained both with a rad ioactive a-source and cyclotron beam will be reported.
