Abstract
A procedure has been developed for the charge, mass and energy calibra tion of ions produced in nuclear heavy ion reactions. The charge and m ass identification are based on a Delta E-E technique. A computer code determines the conversion from ADC channels into energy values, atomi c number and mass of the detected fragments by comparing with energy l oss calculations through a minimization routine. The procedure does no t need prior measurements with beams of known energy and charge. An ap plication of this technique to the calibration of the MULTICS apparatu s is described.
