The CHIFAR experiment, carried out at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud-INFN, aims to study the reaction mechanisms and Intermediate Mass Fragments (IMFs) emission probability in non-central Heavy-Ion collisions. These phenomena are linked to the features of the Equation of State of the nuclear matter, and shine light also on the role of the isospin degree of freedom of the colliding nuclei. In the CHIFAR experiment, nuclear reactions at incident beam energy of 20 AMeV were investigated using different combinations of beams:124Sn,112Sn and124Xe, and targets:64Ni,58Ni and64Zn, in order to study combinations of neutron-rich and neutron-poor systems. The experimental setup was equipped with ten telescopes of the FARCOS correlator, coupled with the 4π CHIMERA multi-detector. This coupling allowed the study of the correlations between IMFs and light charged particles emitted in a nuclear reaction. The results on the energy calibration, on the energy resolution and on the identification of the detected particles by FARCOS correlator used in the CHIFAR experiment are explained. Some preliminary results regarding the physics cases studied in the experiment are also reported.

Abstract
The CHIFAR experiment, carried out at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud-INFN, aims to study the reaction mechanisms and Intermediate Mass Fragments (IMFs) emission probability in non-central Heavy-Ion collisions. These phenomena are linked to the features of the Equation of State of the nuclear matter, and shine light also on the role of the isospin degree of freedom of the colliding nuclei. In the CHIFAR experiment, nuclear reactions at incident beam energy of 20 AMeV were investigated using different combinations of beams:124Sn,112Sn and124Xe, and targets:64Ni,58Ni and64Zn, in order to study combinations of neutron-rich and neutron-poor systems. The experimental setup was equipped with ten telescopes of the FARCOS correlator, coupled with the 4π CHIMERA multi-detector. This coupling allowed the study of the correlations between IMFs and light charged particles emitted in a nuclear reaction. The results on the energy calibration, on the energy resolution and on the identification of the detected particles by FARCOS correlator used in the CHIFAR experiment are explained. Some preliminary results regarding the physics cases studied in the experiment are also reported.Pubblicazioni consigliate
