Commissioning of the MAGNEX large-acceptance spectrometer
The MAGNEX large-acceptance spectrometer has been
commissioned with beams from the Tandem accelerator
at INFN-LNS Catania. The optics were tested
with elastically-scattered 7Li, 16O and 48Ti
beams with various apertures mounted after the target.
The momentum dispersion was verified to be in agreement with
the optics calculations.
A demonstration of the particle identification capabilities
of the PSD start detector and the focal plane detector
was given by a measurement of the 27Al(7Li,6Li)28Al
transfer reaction at
a mean angle of 25°. The measured charge
state distribution of 48Ti ions is
in agreement with predictions for a gold stripping foil.
Preliminary
results of the software reconstruction of incident angle and
excitation energy, obtained through matrices based
on a 3D-interpolation of the measured field maps, are encouraging
