Description
Two- and multi-particle correlations provide space-time probes of the reaction between two heavy ions. By means of imaging techniques it is possible to extract information on the size and lifetime of particle emitting sources. These observables can also be used to access spectroscopic information about unbound states in exotic nuclei. In order to achieve these goals a high resolution in angle and energy measurement is required. The Farcos project (Femtscope Array for Correlations and Spectroscopy) consists of the construction of an array of silicon strip and CsI(Tl) detectors aimed at addressing the physics goals described above. The physics and status of the project will be presented, with emphasis to the future perspectives offered by the array.
