    Abstract

    We present a new approach to charged-particle spectroscopy of short-lived nuclei produced by relativistic projectile fragmentation. The system based on digital DGF-4C CAMAC modules and newly developed fast-reset preamplifiers was tested at the Fragment Separator of GSI. We were able to detect low-energy (≈ 1 MeV) decay signals occurring a few microseconds after a heavy-ion implantation accompanied by a release of ≈ 1 GeV energy. Applications for the study of one- and two-proton radioactivity are discussed.
