Test Run at Yale December 2002. Question: If excited projectiles are allowed to leave the target, what is the attenuation effect on the angular distribution of the de-exciting Gamma rays? Setup: 2 Ge detectors (1 & 4) at backwards angles Q2 = 0.97 Q4 = 0.91 for this run 2 NaI (2 & 3) at forward angles Q2 = 0.92 Q4 = 0.76 1.
