Assembly testing• Confirmed ability of MASHA setup for mass
measurement of 112th and 114th elements• By observation of radon isotopes yields was
estimated “speed” of setup as < 5s (mean lifetime of 201Rn)
• Measured energies of alpha particles are in perfect accordance with table values.
• 40Ar beam and calibrated leaks measurement showed 1,3s and 2,5s time constants for catcher chamber evacuation and evacuation + diffusion from graphite respectively.

Conclusions
• Off-line measurements showed efficiency of ionization 84 ± 10 % for Xe isotopes with mass resolution R = M/ΔM = 1300.

Transport trough dead layer
• Depending on source position:– Energy calibration (energy loss from source to
sensitive volume of detector)– Depth of implantation (40 keV secondary beam)– Alpha peak “tails” (decay if implanted nuclei)

Conclusions
• Geometrical efficiency of registering of alpha particles is 92 – 95 % depending on beam position and decreases by ~ 10 % with each decay (100 % alpha decaying isotope)
• Depth of implantation into silicon is ≈ 10-9m• Energy calibration of all 352 strips (accordance
with table values up to ± 10 keV)• Peak tails are mainly due to inhomogenity of
electric field inside silicon crystal
