Simulations and first feasibility experiment for EXL — •Hossein Moeini¹ and Nasser Kalantar-Nayestanaki² — ¹KVI, Groningen, The Natherlands — ²KVI, Groningen, The Natherlands

The EXL objective is mainly to focus on light-ion reactions in inverse kinematics using a universal detector system providing high resolution and large solid angle coverage in kinematically complete measurements. Hence one of the main parts of the project is the EXL Silicon Particle Array (ESPA) and EXL Gamma and Particle Array (EGPA). The analysis of the recoil detector data taken during the test run in 2005 has shown that having a comprehensive simulation package for the EXL setup is highly essential in order to fully understand the data. While there has been already some simulation activities going on for the EXL, we started with a Geant4 code to integrate all the necessary parts of the detection system in the simulations. These include ESPA, EGPA, forward detectors for high-energy particles, and the magnetic lattice of the ring leading to the heavy-ion detection systems. In this presentation, an overview of the simulations along with some results will be shown.
