Abstract
A technique for separating and identifying reaction products from radiative capture reactions induced by radioactive ion beams has been developed. The 18F(p,γ)19Ne and 18O(p,γ)19F reactions have been measured in inverse kinematics by identifying the 19F and 19Ne reaction products with respect to mass and charge at forward angles in the Fragment Mass Analyzer. A total detection efficiency of 30% and a suppression factor for the incident beam relative to the (p,γ) reaction products of better than 1012:1 was achieved. Details of the detection technique, the beam monitoring procedure as well as experience in the use of polypropylene targets in experiments with radioactive beams are discussed.
