description

Abstract The application of gas-filled recoil separators in the study of fusion evaporation products from heavy ion induced reactions will be discussed. Practical methods for estimating the average magnetic rigidity of fusion products and target-like nuclei will be presented. Examples will be given of typical background intensities observed in studies of heavy elements. The merits of gas-filled devices in comparison with other in-flight separators will be discussed. Selected recent applications in the fields of heavy element research and in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy will be presented, and finally, some future projects will be discussed.
