Charge-exchange (d,2He) reactions in inverse kinematics at intermediate energies are a promising method for studying Gamow-Teller transition strength in unstable nuclei. A simulation and analysis software based on the ATTPCROOT package was developed to investigate such reactions using the AT-TPC. The software allows for realistic detector response simulation, development of analysis tools, and investigation of space-charge effects in track reconstruction.
Charge-exchange (d,2He) reactions in inverse kinematics at intermediate energies are a very promising method to investigate the Gamow-Teller transition strength in unstable nuclei. A simulation and analysis software based on the ATTPCROOT package was developed to study this type of reactions with the active-target time projection chamber (AT-TPC). The simulation routines provide a realistic detector response that can be used to understand and benchmark experimental data. Analysis tools and correction routines can be developed and tested from simulations in ATTPCROOT, because they are processed in the same way as the real data. In particular, we study the feasibility of using coincidences with beam-like particles to unambiguously identify the (d,2He) reaction channel, and to develop a kinematic fitting routine for future applications. More technically, the impact of space-charge effects in the track reconstruction, and a possible correction method are investigated in detail. This analysis and simulation package constitutes an essential part of the software development for the fast-beams program with the AT-TPC.
