A project of the high-resolution magnetic analyzer MAVR is proposed. The analyzer will comprise new magnetic optical and detecting systems for separation and identification of reaction products in a wide range of masses (5-150) and charges (1-60). The magnetic optical system consists of the MSP-144 magnet and a doublet of quadrupole lenses. This will allow the solid angle of the spectrometer to be increased by an order of magnitude up to 30 msr. The magnetic analyzer will have a high momentum resolution (10(-4)) and high focal-plane dispersion (1.9 m). It will allow products of nuclear reactions at energies up to 30 MeV/ nucleon to be detected with the charge resolution similar to 1/ 60. Implementation of the project is divided into two stages: conversion of the magnetic analyzer proper and construction of the nuclear reaction products identification system. The MULTI detecting system is being developed for the MAVR magnetic analyzer to allow detection of nuclear reaction products and their identification by charge Q, atomic number Z, and mass A with a high absolute accuracy. The identification will be performed by measuring the energy loss (Delta E), time of flight (TOF), and total kinetic energy (TKE) of reaction products. The particle trajectories in the analyzer will also be determined using the drift chamber developed jointly with GANIL. The MAVR analyzer will operate in both primary beams of heavy ions and beams of radioactive nuclei produced by the U400 - U400M acceleration complex. It will also be used for measuring energy spectra of nuclear reaction products and as an energy monochromator.

In experiments performed by accelerated ion 3He-beam irradiated gold and platinum targets on the cyclotron U-120M of the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Řež, reactions of complete and incomplete fusion and nucleon transfer reactions in the 3He energy range from 10 to 24.5 MeV have been investigated. To determine the yield of the nuclides resulting from the nuclear reaction, the activation technique has been used. The obtained data are analyzed using models based on statistical calculations and compared with similar results for other light stable particles. Transfer reactions with positive Q values have relatively high cross sections in the energy range below the Coulomb barrier. These cross sections continue to grow with increasing 3He energy, and, in the case of capturing neutron from target nucleus by a nucleus of 3He, the excitation functions of these reactions reach their maximum almost at the Coulomb barrier of the reactions.

Reactions 45Sc(3He, αn)43Sc, 45Sc(3He, α)44Sc, and 45Sc(3He, 2p)46Sc, resulting from the irradiation of scandium targets with a beam of 3He ions with energy from 5 to 24 MeV, are investigated in experiments on the U120M cyclotron of the Nuclear Physics Institute (Rez, Czech Republic). The activation technique is used to find the yield of the produced Sc isotopes. The induced γ activity in the targets is measured using a high-resolution HPGe detector. Despite the low binding energy of 3He and positive reaction Q values, which leads to formation of the 44Sc and 46Sc isotopes, the behavior of the excitation functions for the formation of these isotopes differs from the behavior of the excitation function for deuterons. Scandium-44 formation cross sections reach their maximum at the reaction Coulomb barrier. This is because not only 44Sc but also a stable 4He nucleus is formed in the reaction.
