ContinuationContinuation- Experimentally explore the limits of the existing setup to fully identify the nuclei within the M, Z, Q and E coordinates- Recoil Decay Tagging

To be obtained by- Short runs with the deep inelastic reactions induced by Ni, Ge, Kr … beams - Include ΔE measurement of nuclei stopped in gas- Improve the ToF resolution that limits the M/Q measurement
