“…We here briefly recall the Prisma detector system. A position-sensitive microchannel plate detector [32] was placed at the entrance of the spectrometer, providing a start signal for time-of-flight measurements and position signals. Ions pass through the optical elements of the spectrometer (a quadrupole and a dipole) and enter a focal plane [33] whose first part is made of a parallel plate of multiwire type, providing timing and position signals with resolutions similar to the entrance detector.…”

“…The presently adopted solution in such cases is a simplified magnetic element configuration and the use of the concept of trajectory reconstruction. This idea has been successfully employed in the very large solid angle (∼100 msr) spectrometers PRISMA [2][3][4], and VAMOS [5] and MAGNEX [6].…”

“…The reconstruction of the ion trajectory is obtained from the measurement of an entrance [2] and focal plane positions [3], together with time of flight. In between these two detector systems only two magnetic elements are located, a quadrupole followed by a dipole.…”

“…The detector system in these spectrometers, besides nuclear charge, energy and timing, provides the necessary position information along the ion path. This idea has been successfully employed in the very large solid angle (100 msr) spectrometers Prisma [2][3][4][5], VAMOS [6] and MAGNEX [7].…”
