Abstract
We present the design, prototype developments and test results of the new time-of-flight detector (ToFD) which is part of the R 3 B experimental setup at GSI and FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany. The ToFD detector is able to detect heavy-ion residues of all charges at relativistic energies with a relative energy precision σ Δ E / Δ E of up to 1% and a time precision of up to 14 ps (sigma). Together with an elaborate particle-tracking system, the full identification of relativistic ions from hydrogen up to uranium in mass and nuclear charge is possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
