MASS ANALYZING RECOIL APPARATUS, MARA

An in-flight zero-angle mass separator, MARA, has been recently constructed and commissioned at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. MARA is a double focusing device, consisting of a quadrupole driplet, electrostatic deflector, and magnetic dipole. This separator is built for nuclear structure studies to be performed around the N similar to Z line and at beyond the proton drip line.
