FOOT (FragmentatiOn On Target) is an applied nuclear physics experiment aimed at measuring the production cross sections of fragments for energies, beams and targets relevant in particle therapy and radioprotection in space. The ΔE-TOF detector will measure the energy deposited by the fragments in a wall of plastic scintillators and the time of flight with respect to a start detector. These two quantities allow to determine the charge Z of the fragment. In this work, we summarize the charge identification procedure of a detector prototype with two scintillator modules.

Abstract

FOOT (FragmentatiOn On Target) is an applied nuclear physics experiment aimed at measuring the production cross sections of fragments for energies, beams and targets relevant in particle therapy and radioprotection in space. The ΔE-TOF detector will measure the energy deposited by the fragments in a wall of plastic scintillators and the time of flight with respect to a start detector. These two quantities allow to determine the charge Z of the fragment. In this work, we summarize the charge identification procedure of a detector prototype with two scintillator modules.
