Commissioning the DRAGON facility at ISAC
The performance of the DRAGON recoil spectrometer at TRIUMF-ISAC has been studied using the radiative capture reactions with stable beams of 12C, 20Ne, 21Ne, 23Na, 24Mg, and 26Mg. Calibration of the deflection magnet measuring the beam energy was established and the beam suppression factors of the separator were investigated. Yields from six narrow resonances were measured and compared with previous results. For the 1112.6 keV resonance in 20Ne(ρ,ϒ)21Na, our result is in disagreement with the NACRE database assignment but agrees with one other previous result.
