Left: Schematic arrangement of the excitation target (gray) and the degrader (red) in a plunger lifetime measurement with a short
(top), intermediate (middle), and a long (bottom) flight path. The regions for decay upstream and downstream from the degrader
are marked in blue and green and correspond to ion velocities of v/c ~ 0.3 and v/c ~ 0.2, respectively. Right: Experimental spectra
obtained using the NSCL plunger system [Che06]; peaks marked with blue and green correspond to the reaction products decaying
upstream and downstream of the degrader, respectively.
