Description
Prisma is a spectrometer that unites a large solid angle
and momentum
acceptance with a satisfactory mass resolution. Such a
performance is
accomplished by "trajectory reconstruction", which
requires detecting
the entrance and exit X,Y position, time of flight and
energy loss.
It has been designed for the study of two-body
reactions and is actively
used together with the clover gamma-array Clara to
investigate moderately
neutron rich nuclei.
This seminar provides an overview of the spectrometer
and discuss
a few examples of recent experimental results.
