Nuclear fragment identification with Δ E-E telescopes exploiting silicon carbide detectors

A study of the response of three훥E-E telescopes to fragments produced in nuclear interactions at 40AMeV ispresented. All the employed telescopes feature silicon carbide (SiC) detectors for at least one detection stage.Two identification methods have been used and their performance discussed: the훥E-E technique and the PulseShape Analysis technique (for identification of nuclear fragments stopped in a single SiC layer). Identificationcapabilities similar to those obtained with the best available silicon detectors have been found for the SiC detectorprototypes studied in this work.
