Abstract:
CHIMERA is an unique multi-detector constructed and operated in
Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Laboratorio Nazionale del
Sud (Catania, Italy). The device was dedicated to study nuclear
structure and mechanism of heavy ions collisions. Three detection
techniques are used: Time-Of-Flight method, Delta E-E method and
Pulse Shape Analysis method. On the first run of experiments
(1999-2000) only so-called "forward part" of the detector,
consisted of 688 detection cells, was used. Data analysis did
show different scenarios of reaction for neutron-poor and
neutron-rich systems.
