Abstract

A technique is described to quickly measure the response of detectors to intermediate-energy heavy ions. An ECR source was utilized to produce ions as heavy as krypton. A series of ions with the same charge-to-mass ratio was accelerated in a cyclotron to a constant velocity of energy/nucleon. Different ion species were extracted by adjusting the resonant frequency a few kHz. Detectors were directly exposed to the extracted beams. For a charge-to-mass ratio of one-quarter, over seventeen ion species from ⁴He⁺¹ to ⁸⁴Kr⁺²¹ were observed in a two hour period.
