Pollacco, CEA Saclay, France  ~ 6.5 mm thick  the same structure as for the Si(Li) detectors for the MUST2-setup  effective thickness below 5  m  without position-sensitive structure  design is identical to the MUST2-design  all components have to be UHV-compatible T = 273 K EXL-1EXL-2 6.5 mm thick6.4 mm thick p + -contact is structured Li-diffused contact has to be thinned transmission type Si(Li) detector A large target-recoil detector will be constructed for the future EXL-experiments (EXotic nuclei studied in Light-ion induced reactions) at the NESR storage ring of the future FAIR project at GSI- Darmstadt [1]. As a part of the recoil detector, position-sensitive Si(Li) transmission detectors (5 to 9 mm thick) are intended for construction of  E-E charged-particle telescopes. Si(Li) detectors of transmission type has been an important aspect concerning the total-energy measurement for target recoils transversing the silicon  E-E telescopes and stopped in inorganic scintillators placed behind the telescopes. Two ~7 mm thick Si(Li) transmission detectors equipped with 8 pads on the implanted p + -contact have being prepared for the test measurements at ESR (GSI-Darmstadt). To relieve the efforts for the first experiments a telescope configuration and position-sensitive structure very similar to that of the MUST2 experiment (SACLAY, ORSAY and GANIL) will be applied [2], but with UHV-capable components. Results of the test measurements in the laboratory are presented. Abstract References [1]www.gsi.de [2]E. C. Pollacco et al., to be published in Nucl. Instr. Meth. [3]D. Protić and T.

The Li- diffused contact of the Si(Li) detector EXL-1 will be thinned and the p + -contact of the Si(Li) detector EXL-2 will receive the position-sensitive structure.
