Abstract
We report an analysis of electron‐optical properties of a toroidal magnetic sector spectrometer and examine parameters for its implementation in a relativistic heavy‐ion storage ring, for example the High Energy Storage ring (HESR) at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) facility. For studies of free–free pair production in heavy‐ion atom collisions, this spectrometer exhibits very high efficiencies for coincident e + –e − pair spectroscopy over a wide range of momenta of emitted lepton pairs. The high coincidence efficiency of the spectrometer is the key for stringent tests of theoretical predictions for the phase space correlation of lepton vector momenta in free–free pair production.Keywords
