Abstract

The MAGNEX gas tracker prototype underwent its first in-beam characterization at the 8UD Pelletron facility at the University of São Paulo (Brazil). Studies on the charge distribution width were conducted to understand the detector response as a function of the ion and rate; single-track analysis, resolution studies, and simulation of the charge distribution are also in progress.
