Abstract
Simulations based on a coupled-channel transport model have
been performed to analyze the feasibility to study the in-medium mass exploiting the process
for C, Ca and Nb nuclei.
The distortions due to final-state
interactions of the
and background contributions from the reaction
are found to be small in the mass range of
interest (
GeV). Furthermore, the effect of
the detector resolution on the
mass determination
is discussed.
