Abstract

The feasibility of the spectroscopy of dynamically ionized electrons (positrons) from heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies, e.g. Pb+Pb at 60 A·MeV has been studied. We propose a magnetic toroid spectrometer for lepton spectroscopy in an energy range between 5 and 50 MeV. Special emphasis was laid on large solid angles, on broad-band characteristics and on a good suppression of secondary events. The device is a versatile compact-size instrument for lepton detection in in-beam experiments at a moderate energy resolution of ΔE/E ≈ 4%.
