Trace Fitting of a Charged Particle Telescope to use with MoNA

Measurements of neutron-unbound states in nuclides typically assume that the resulting charged fragment after neutron emission will be in a bound ground state. This may not always be the case, so a compact charged particle detector telescope~composed of five Si detectors and one CsI calorimeter~has been developed~by the MoNA Collaboration~to enable a gamma-ray detection array to be placed around it~for~unequivocally~identifying~bound excited~states. These experiments require radioactive beams so this device will be used at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory on the campus of Michigan State University. A test-run~with this telescope~was performed~at the NSCL~in January of~2020 using a digital data acquisition system. Traces from each detector were recorded during the run and are being analyzed~to assess the performance of the device. This presentation will focus on the progress in this work.
