Abstract.

The feasibility of the entire process of \(\gamma\)-ray tracking is demonstrated experimentally for the first time. The accuracy of the results is tested by the capability for Doppler correction of \(\gamma\)-rays emitted in flight. The resolution of the 847.8 keV (\(2^ + \to 0^ + \)) transition detected with the MARS detector after Coulomb excitation of a 56Fe beam could be improved from 15 keV to below 5 keV (FWHM).
