The
feasibility of the entire process of
γ-ray tracking is demonstrated
experimentally
for the first time. The accuracy of the results is verified by the capability to carry out a Doppler correction of
γ-rays emitted in flight. The resolution of the 846.8 keV
transition detected with the MARS detector after Coulomb
excitation of a
56Fe beam could be improved from approximately 16 up to 4.6 keV (FWHM). This result corresponds to an obtained position resolution of about 6 mm (FWHM).
