Summary, in English

A new focal plane detector system for the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator (BGS) was designed, constructed, and tested offline with various -decay and conversion-electron sources. The SuperHeavy RECoils (SHREC) detector comprises sets of double-sided silicon strip detectors arranged in an open-faced cuboid geometry. Alongside the detector upgrade new digital data acquisition electronics have been commissioned offline. This setup aims to detect separated recoiling heavy and superheavy nuclei as well as their correlated radioactive decay paths with improved energy resolution and overall sensitivity.
