The combined setup SONIC@HORUS is used to investigate the γ-decay behaviour of low-spin states up to the neutron separation threshold excited by light-ion inelastic scattering and transfer reactions using beams provided by a 10 MV FN Tandem accelerator. The particle-γ coincidence method will be presented using data from a  92Mo(p,p’γ) experiment. In a  119Sn(d,X) experiment, excellent particle identification has been achieved because of the good energy resolution of the silicon detectors of approximately 20 keV. Due to the non-negligible momentum transfer in the reaction, a Doppler correction of the detected γ-ray energy has to be performed, using the additional information from measuring the ejectile energy and direction. The high sensitivity of the setup is demonstrated by the results from a  94Mo(p,p’γ) experiment, where small γ-decay branching ratios have been deduced.
