Physics Cases Summary Matt AmthorBucknell University ReA12 Recoil Separator Workshop – July 12, 2014
Timeline of physics cases • August 2013 Low Energy Community Meeting, MSU • Recoil separator satellite workshop • Recoil separator working group meeting • Goal: to select a preferred separator system • Conclusions: • Physics cases must come first: details, not just concepts • Many experiments need a larger mass resolving power than a gas-filled option can provide (keep gas-filled-mode concept) • Solicitation and collection of physics cases from the community after August and again in Spring 2014 • 17 physics cases collected • “Evaluated” by working group conveners to determine unidentified experimental parameters (→spreadsheet).

Physics Cases Auxiliary Systems • Target area • GRET(IN)A, CAESAR, SuN, HAGRiD • ORRUBA • HELIOS (proposed?) • Plunger • LENDA, VANDLE • Gas jet target • Focal plane • TOF, dE, TKE, (tracking) • Implantation decay, multiple channels: α, β, γ, n, fission.

Recoil Separator Needs • Space about the target for detection, targets, swinger, etc. • Achromatic image (small FP) for implantation → decay • Bρmax = 2.5 Tm (for gas-filled mode) • Eρmax = 105 MV (median 42 MV) • Swinger for incoming beam angles up to 5o degrees • M/Q resolving power up to 1000 (most 100-400) • Q and Bρ acceptance +/-10% (larger helps for some) • Angular Acceptance +/-170 mrad (most +/- 10-110 mrad) • Physical M/Q separation: one yes (most no or don’t specify) • Bunch size/spacing: 200ps/80ns (most don’t specify) See the Physics Cases Spreadsheet for details by proposal.
