Abstract
Ion tracking is still an unusual detection method in nuclear physics. TACTIC (TRIUMF annular chamber for tracking and identification of charged particles) is suitable for tracking low-energy ejectiles. The cylindrical design allows for an electrical separation of target and drift region without hindering the ejectiles to enter the drift region. The first experiment with radioactive beam – the reaction 8Li(α,n)11B which is important for the α-process in neutrino-driven supernova winds – took place in June '09. Since no off-the-shelf analysis tools and methods are available for this kind of tracking, TRIUMF's TACTIC group developed graphical tool for analysing data that can also be used for other modern nuclear physics detectors.
