6. Tagging System test with  source By using coincidences between MCP and one pixel in the silicon detector, we obtain a time resolution better than 500 psec At the entrance of the CHIMERA scattering chamber, we mounted  source, MCP and DSSSS (16x16 strips, thickness 140  m). The base of flight is 70 cm

17. CONCLUSION Trough kinematical coincidence we’re going to study transfer reactions with light exotic beams On June 2010 we’ll have also beam 9 Li on 5.5 MeV/A by LNS-EXCYT facilities Next improvement to detect particles at 0° New experiments by using fragmentation beams at LNS (primary beam 36 Ar to produce 32,33 Ar neutron poor beams) Exotic beams delivered by SPES at LNL.
