The experiment was performed by M. Veselksy at the Cyclotron Institute of Texas A&M University, using 45 MeV/nucleon 40,48Ca beams delivered by the K500 superconducting cyclotron impinging on Al (2.2 mg/cm2) target. The multidetector array FAUST [16] was employed covering forward angles between 2 and 35◦, where fragments originating from the projectile-like source can be expected due to beam velocity. In the experimental spectra, the lines for three known isotopes (typically 1H, 4He, 7Be) are assigned and energy calibration is performed by the minimization procedure where these lines are fitted to corresponding calculated energy losses. The calibration coefficients are thus obtained as optimum values of the minimization parameters. The silicon detectors were calibrated using an alpha-source, while the empirical formula of Tassan-Got [19] was used for the energy calibration of the CsI(Tl) crystals.
