Description
The HELIOS spectrometer was developed to study of light-ion transfer reactions in inverse kinematics, where outgoing ions are transported through a solenoidal field removing the effects of kinematic compression. It operates at ATLAS at Argonne National Laboratory where it can be used with stable beams, light radioactive ion beams produced by the in-flight technique, and fission-fragment beams from CARIBU. HELIOS has been in use for approximately ten years, demonstrating excellent Q-value resolution for studies with beams from mass 10 to 140. I will discuss recent results, including the measurement of transfer reactions induced by an isomer beam, and comment on future developments for HELIOS, and new solenoidal-spectrometer projects.
