The detector active surface was O183600100022 200 mm**2 with a gold thickness on the front entrance O183600100023 window. O183600100024 SAMPLE Silicon as detector and target. (see above) O183600100025 INC-SOURCE *EN-RSL-FW*.A good energy resolution on the Si(Li) O183600100026 detector of 70 keV(FWHM) at 15 MeV was obtained. O183600100027 FACILITY (VDGT,2ITYLNS) The Li-7 beam was provided by the SMP O183600100028 TANDEM accelerator of LNS at E(lab)=12.0, 13.0, 14.6, O183600100029 15.0 and 16.0 MeV.

O183600100031 (EDE) O183600100032 COMMENT *By authors*.A different coincidence technique, O183600100033 inserting a micro channel plate(MCP) in line with the O183600100034 active target Si(Li) detector and measuring the TOF O183600100035 between the two detectors, was used. O183600100036 *By authors*.Two different and complementary pulse O183600100037 pile-up rejection methods were used during the O183600100038 experiment.
