DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oleksii Poleshchuk (KU Leuven\, Instituut voor Kern-
  en Stralingsfysica\, Celestijnenlaan 200d\, 3001 Leuven\, Belgium)\nSpecM
 AT is an active target developed for studying the shell evolution in exoti
 c isotopes and observing the fundamental aspects of the nuclear structure 
 far from stability via transfer reactions carried in inverse kinematics. T
 he active target\, which is a novel modification of a time projection cham
 ber\, can acquire three-dimensional tracks of light reaction products and 
 work in coincidence with the scintillation array sensitive to gamma-rays e
 mitted by the heavy reaction products. The SpecMAT is currently at its fin
 al developmental stage undergoing characterisation measurements at ISOLDE\
 , CERN. During the most recent characterisation\, SpecMAT was installed in
  the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer\, which generated a magnetic field of 
 2.5 T. This characterisation was performed offline using a standard alpha 
 source. In this measurement spiral tracks of alpha particles were successf
 ully observed in the time projection chamber of the detector. Gamma rays e
 mitted in the decay chain of 241Am were detected in coincidence with the p
 article tracks by the scintillation array. With this characterisation\, we
  demonstrated that all detector components could operate in the strong mag
 netic field and are ready for future online experiments.\nIn this talk\, r
 ecent Geant4 simulations of transfer reactions that can be studied with Sp
 ecMAT also will be presented. Using the newly developed simulation toolkit
 \, SpecMATscint\, we demonstrated the feasibility of studying the shell ev
 olution in the chain of neutron-rich copper isotopes via a (d\,3He) transf
 er reaction.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event/112/contributions/3117/
