10. Summary and outlook  PPAC is being developed and first prototype is constructed.  Ionization chamber prototype is constructed and simulation work is being done for the improvement.  It needs to specify FPD for specific physical processes. Consideration for the FPD system; -> Optimization for low energy ions (~0.3 MeV/u of RAON) -> minimize energy threshold, detector windows number/thickness. -> Low energy around Coulomb barrier’ particles has larger angular distribution and low production cross section -> Need large detector window -> Count rate handling -> ex.) VAMOS FPD is limited by the rate of the drift chamber (< 10 kHz). -> Another detector performances of efficiency, handling, building, costs.. and? <- Goal of this year is to have the proper design for the system. -> Your suggestion is quite welcome!! 10

12. Modular design at VAMOS++ Modular mechanical set-upSingle module containing the IC Modular manner has a precise and reproducible geometry. Each detector has its own independent chamber, moves on rail. Minimized electronics cable length and optimized the heat dissipation. It is composed of MWPPAC, DCs with isobutene of 6 mbar and IC with CF 4 of 20 to 40 mbar. (cf. MWPPAC as start detector independent of beam pulse->500 ps->1/220) particles 12
