Commissioning of the pion beam facility at SIS-GSF

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A secondary pion beam facility has recently been installed and commissioned at the SIS-GSI (Darmstadt) 18Tm synchrotron. Pions are produced in the collision of light heavy-ion beams from the SIS onto a thick production target and transported to HADES experimental area. A system of three time-of-flight hodoscopes has been constructed and installed in the beam line to separate pions from other secondary particles. The main results of the commissioning experiment are presented.
