abstract = {The goal of the FAZIA Collaboration is the design of a new-generation 4π detector array for
heavy-ion collisions with radioactive beams. This article summarizes the main results of the R&D phase,
devoted to the search for significant improvements of the techniques for charge and mass identification
of reaction products. This was obtained by means of a systematic study of the basic detection module,
consisting of two transmission-mounted silicon detectors followed by a CsI(Tl) scintillator. Significant
improvements in ΔE-E and pulse-shape techniques were obtained by controlling the doping homogeneity
and the cutting angles of silicon and by putting severe constraints on thickness uniformity. Purposely
designed digital electronics contributed to identification quality. The issue of possible degradation related
to radiation damage of silicon was also addressed. The experimental activity was accompanied by studies
on the physics governing signal evolution in silicon. The good identification quality obtained with the
prototypes during the R&D phase, allowed us to investigate also some aspects of isospin physics, namely
isospin transport and odd-even staggering. Now, after the conclusion of the R&D period, the FAZIA
Collaboration has entered the demonstrator phase, with the aim of verifying the applicability of the devised
solutions for the realization of a larger-scale experimental set-up.},
