In this paper, we present the results of the first beam tests of the detection system at the focal plane of the Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator-2 (DGFRS-2), which receives beams from the DC-280 FLNR cyclotron. The high beam intensity of $^{48}$Ca$^{+10}$ heavy ions from the cyclotron enables us to obtain a number of superheavy recoils sufficient to compare both the measured and calculated spectra of superheavy recoils implanted into a silicon detector. A real-time algorithm to search for an Evaporation Residue (ER) -- $\alpha$ correlated sequences is described in brief. It should be noted that the DGFRS-2 spectrometer operates in conjunction with the 48x128 strip DSSD (Double-sided Silicon Strip Detector; 48x226 mm2) detector and a low-pressure pentane-filled gaseous detector (1.2 Torr; 80x230 mm$^2$). A block-diagram of the spectrometer and the event format are also presented. Special attention is paid to the response of a low-pressure pentane-filled DeltaE multiwire proportional chamber for recoils of Fl, synthesized in the $^{242}$Pu+$^{48}$Ca $\to$ $^{287}$Fl +3n complete fusion nuclear reaction. Some actual parameters of the detection system have also been extracted from $^{\rm nat}$Yb + $^{48}$Ca, $^{232}$Th + $^{48}$Ca, $^{243}$Am + $^{48}$Ca, $^{238}$U + $^{48}$Ca reactions. The effect of neighbor strip charge sharing for the ohmic side of the DSSD detector is also under consideration., Comment: 18 pages

A new wide-range formula $T_α=f (Q_α)$ to operate with the new DGFRS2 analog spectrometer installed at the DC-280 cyclotron facility is presented. The main goal of this formula application algorithm is to search the optimal time correlation recoil-alpha parameter directly during the execution of the C++ acquisition code. Note that the spectrometer operates together with the 48x128 strip DSSD (Double Side Strip Detector) detector and low-pressure pentane-filled gaseous detector. Comparison with others known formulas is performed for Z=119,120 nuclei., will replace with more correct data (Table1) in a nearest future

Detection system and software package coded in Builder C ++ are developed for the new analog spectrometer of the DGFRS-2 setup installed on the new DC-280 cyclotron. This software allows providing data acquisition using a 48x128 DSSSD (Double Side Silicon Strip Detector) detector and a multi-wire gaseous detector. The main feature of this software package is the use of flexible real-time algorithms to provide deep suppression of the background in reactions for the synthesis of superheavy elements, using the detection of correlations ER-{\alpha} (Recoil-alpha particle). The block-diagram of analog spectrometer is presented., Comment: Develomments at new gas filled separator of JINR(FLNR)

The Dubna Gas Filled Recoil Separator is the most advanced facility currently in use in the field of research of superheavy nuclei. Definitely, the DGFRS detection system and method of active correlations have played a significant role in these discoveries. Author defines abstract mathematical objects, like correlation graph and incoming event matrixes of a different nature in order to construct a simple procedure for detecting rare events, yet more exhaustive compared to the present one, using real time detection mode. In this case one can use any of correlation graph links to trigger cyclotron beam stopper to provide background free conditions to search for ultra rare alpha decays. Schematics of these algorithms are presented.

Recently, in the DGFRS related experiments the discoveries of new superheavy elements 114 to 118 were successfully performed. As concerns to a background radical suppression in those experiments it was namely Active correlations method which was applied to this goal. Note, that application of DSSSD detector allows one to apply this method more effectively, although with some difficulties due to neighbor strips edge effects. Present version of the DGFRS spectrometer is presented. Shapes of ER registered energy spectra in the nat Yb+48Ca reaction are presented. First results of its application in the 240Pu+48Ca=Fl complete fusion nuclear reaction are presented too. Conclusion, that edge effects are to a first approximation explained by the role of inter strips area is drawn., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1607.05270

Application of active correlations method

Two decay chains originated from the even-even isotope 294118 produced in the 3n-evaporation channel of the 249Cf+48Ca reaction. Method of active correlations is applied to suppress backgrounds associated with the cyclotron. It is planned to apply this technique for the forthcoming experiment aimed to the synthesis of Z=120 element. A calibration dependence for a recoil measured energy signal is presented as well as a computer simulation spectrum for Z=118 nuclei.
