Gamma‐ray Tracking With The MARS Detector

The feasibility of the entire process of γ‐ray tracking is demonstrated experimentally for the first time. The accurracy of the results is verified by the capability to carry out Doppler correction of γ‐rays emitted in flight. The resolution of the 847.8 keV transition detected with the MARS detector after Coulomb excitation of a 56Fe beam could be improved from 15 keV to below 5 keV (FWHM).
