Mass Identification In Heavy-Ion Collection With The Spectrometer Soleno

A detection system consisting of a thin film scintillator detector and a solid state detector has been set up and used to measure the time of flight and energy of the fusion evaporation residues collected with the magnetic spectrometer SOLENO at the Orsay tandem. The linear responses and the timing properties of the system were tested using a 252 Cf source and beams of 16 O, 32 S and 58 Ni. The system was used to study the mass identification and the collection yield obtained with SOLENO.
