Description
The SpecMAT active target will be used to study isotopes in the exotic regions of the nuclide chart and investigate the fundamental questions related to the shell structure of nuclei far from stability via nucleon-transfer reactions in inverse kinematics. The active target will be placed in a strong and homogeneous magnetic field of the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer for reconstruction of the recoil particle energies based on the curvature of their trajectories in the magnetic field. To extract additional information about the populated low-lying states in the transfer reactions, SpecMAT is surrounded by an array of scintillation detectors for gamma-ray spectroscopy.
In this talk, will be highlighted the first characterisation of the SpecMAT Active Target. The characterisation measurement was aimed at correlation of reconstructed 3D charged particle tracks with gamma-rays, which will be discussed in details. Further installation plans of the detector at HIE-ISOLDE and a possible experimental campaign will be also presented in this talk.
