Description

The possibilities of coincident elastic recoil detection for mass analysis around mass 64 have been investigated at the GSI heavy-ion microprobe. Partial separation between the stable isotopes 63Cu and 65Cu has been obtained using a pair of positron-sensitive detectors accepting both scattered projectiles and recoils between 38deg and 52deg. Total energy spectra gated by the peaks in the mass spectrum show small differences. For the surface nearest to the detectors depth resolution is better than 25 nm. (orig.)
